Sorry, it was not my intention to spread pessimism or annoy anyone.
I am sure the people in Debian is doing their very best to release as soon as
possible.
I am sorry the for "sarcastic" last sentence, it was unecassery.
I understand that Debian is released when it is finished, not before, not
later.

I am thinking about the not-so-frequent releases of Debian, and the in my
opinion: "highly outdated software" that comes with Woody. Maybe I am wrong ?
This will get better once Sarge arrives, but for how long ?
Let us hope that it will not take another 2-3 year until the next release of
Debian.
By the way, the people behind Debian is doing a great job, I really admire
that. It is my number #1 distro.
