True.  I'm just wondering how long it's going to be before people
start complainging about how the Red Hat Enterprise version's release
cycle is too slow and their version of KDE is almost a year old and
it's utterly worthless because everything is so obsolete and...

Or, maybe - just maybe, in an ideal world - people might see that Red
Hat is doing this and quit bitching about Debian's stable distro
being old.
