I am not sure what www.debian.org mentions, and I agree that web-update, stability [..] should be mentioned. On the other hand I think it is a good thing that debian is a "non-vaporware"-project and does not start out with "advertising-expressions". Maybe a solution would be to put information about advanced features and advocacy on a different page (not on the start-page). Maybe some people would share their experience with debian. -- Felix Natter
