Well, my point of view is that this obsession to get a 'perfect' release
causes more harm to Debian than anything else; everybody knows that sarge as
it is today is much more stable than many distros out there, what are we
waiting for? It's ok to thoroughly test a new distro before it's released,
but taking years to do so??? Come on!
Besides, what about the people new to linux? Do you think anyone would choose
to try a distro with obsolete software?
