I reckon Ubuntu's popularity scared them to making sarge stable. I remember reading this <http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/11/2335221&tid=163&tid=90&tid=190&tid=106> Slashdot thread and this <http://internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3496541> article.

Yaaay! And the unseasonably bad tempratures in Hell appear to be
affecting my local area too. It's a wee bit nippy of late.
Still, as much as I truly like using debian this is a test release for
me. I enjoy the stability of debian and I have no need to be on the
bleeding edge (as that runs counter to the stability idea for me) but 3
years between releases is a bit much so I want to see how long it'll
take them to get past sarge and make etch stable. If it's another daft
wait then things have gotten too silly.
That being said, you don't really /need/ the bleeding edge for a lot of
things. With the security updates that came it's easy enough to keep
things secure. About the only thing I've come up against where woody was
itching to be updated are perl modules, php and samba. Otherwise it's been
sweet.
