Security concerns are not ignored; the goal of any stable release is to maintain a stable set of features and functionality (and APIs and ABIs) while addressing security concerns safely and promptly. Depending on the software in question, this usually involves backporting specific fixes and/or tracking a particular upstream long-term-support release (if it is maintained with a similar set of goals as debian stable). This is getting increasingly off-topic for the engimail list, so i encourage you to read more about the debian security team starting at: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Security And about the debian release process at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases http://www.debian.org/releases/ Thanks for your interest in Debian!
