Well, when I first started using Debian, I too felt that the release
cycle was too long (thought like "if it takes another 1.5 years for a
release, I would loose any interest in Debian"), but now I'm very
comfortable getting stuff like KDE from backporters. I think that works
fine. So, in general, I'm fine with the release cycle.
The only thing I really don't understand, is why packages that are
outdated to the point where the security advisory says "don't use them"
are not replaced with updated packages.
Cheers,
