I do agree with Josselin in here. How is that Desktops systems don't require that much stability? That's completely false. If you think from the point of view of a user, you should be able to conclude that when someone is using their Desktops and doing an important task for them, they don't want the applications or the system to fail. What I have been seeing, when it comes to changes in the release cycles in Debian, it is that sometimes people who wants to suggest something (as in this case) they actually do not understand correctly how Debian works currently. In any case, it is still important that these kind of discussions arise in certain times (but at least knowing a bit about the release cycles). Regards, -- Muammar El Khatib. Linux user: 403107.
