ion Building packages has definitely gotten easier. I completely understand the desire for stability and reliability. But it seems like having to wait up to 2 years for some major new feature to get into Debian can be daunting, especially when it gets into Testing. I was wondering, is there, or has anyone given any thought to something in between Testing+Backports and Stable+Security that is something like Stable at each dot release, thus reducing this window down to 3 months as opposed to 2 years?
