Your questions would be best directed to the ‘debian-user’ forum for
assistance as a (prospective) Debian user.

For further reading on how releases proceed and are supported, see the
Debian FAQ <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-choosing.en.html#s3.1>
and the page for each release <URL:http://www.debian.org/releases/>.
