Why do you need a specific "release" at all? I'm quite happy running dftp periodically and updating my machine on the fly. That's what I really love about debian, the fact that you can usually install a new package without too much grief. The version number of the current release is really not useful for me. I'm upgrading packages on a continuous basis. However, in all fairness, I must also add that I will continue to upgrade in this fashion no matter which approach you take.
