I would like to see the Official 0.93 + patches option myself.

We could rank patches to 0.93 as essential and optional.

And, if we have the disk space on the ftp sites could we provide a  
patched distribution?

Thus we have the following,

  debian-0.93
  debian-0.93-updates
     essential     - security and basic functionality related
     recommended   - software updates only
  debian-0.93-patched

I think that having no fixed target is too much of a confusion in  
the long run.

So, which alternative?  BOTH! :-)
