Quoting Steve Holdoway <st...@greengecko.co.nz>:

Spiro, you're missing the point of a distro completely. That is to
provide a functionally static platform for people to use and release to.
From that point on, only security patches are released. The fact that
0.94.x was current when debian lenny was released means that it should
stay that way until EOL of the distro.

Anything else is breaking at least the spirit of the distro release
philosophy.

There are distros that follow that philosophy, but not all of them.
A distro can set any release philosophy they want, and indeed people
want different release philosophies from their distros...
