No. Three months is too much. Please burn & sell the current point
release. People who take care of security have to update anyway. They
can get their updates from the net. If they don't care, the n-1, n-2
point release is fine for them.

Please get in touch with the debian-cd list, they should know about
cdimage.d.o
Please be advised that this is not a regular Debian release but only
a point release, mainly to cover security problems to be included.
