I must disagree with that a bit. Quite a lot of Debian users choose it
for mission critical environments because it is rock stable and it has
a very long support cycle. If Debian starts having a release every two
years or even more frequently, that long term stability will become
quite questionable.
In many areas you really need a server or a workstation that will not
change for 5+ years and will have a fullblown security support for the
same 5+ years. Debian is excellent at that.
