Why do we have to be a part of an industry? Debian would be commercial if we truely cared about the industry... > because slink is so far behind that it isn't usefull anymore.

How horrible, disastrous! :> A lot of people (including me) run kernel 2.2 on slink machines just fine. FWIW all these arguments how "we shall all die in disgrace if we don't get 2^32 releases out in the next ten years" and similar, are a huge pile of junk (no offense, nothing personal). To release faster would be great, but no market pressure or yet another non-technical flamewar on debian-devel will help. Let's just get back to work...
