No.
Debian still wants time-based "freeze". Every two years, in December,
Debian would freeze it's development: i.e stop introducing new features,
and focus on finding and fixing bugs in the current packages and
documentations... and release-when-ready(TM)
Initially, the release-team wanted to "start" this new process in
December, but many developers voiced their concerns that it was "too
soon", either for Debian users, or for their own migration plans
(switching to new libraries and new Gnome, KDE... requires planning,
time and efforts)
Therefore, the freeze has been delayed to March 2010, see[1].
