If you think it is community based distro, and you want more frequent stable
releases (say, one release per year, i.e. every December before the Christmas
holidays ;-) then you might want to help to keep testing (resp. unstable) as
close as possible to a reasonable releaseable state. This means sending
decent bugreports, patches, etc. ... that should be community-made I belive,
and not just shouting out 'oh, can't wait, your old software doesn't not
support my new hardware'.

Will you approach ubuntu's mailing lists the same way when next Debian Stable
got released with much more current software than the latest Ubuntu Stable
release ?
