If the release starts happening as per Jan's proposal, Debian would be /... as 
one of those insecure/unstable distributions which disguise as stable but 
often keep breaking.
Do you think a deadline based release cycle would be feasible for a community 
like Debian to maintain it's reputation.

I remember one line from Debian's documentations.
"Stable never breaks".
Please don't let this line be untrue.
