Story: Debian tipped for February release
sounds like the same lies to me
"I would like to see a release when everything is working properly. Trying to keep to a fixed date is a common reason for a faulty release. -- Debian have hid behind this lie forever. How does every other distro manage to set and hit release dates? We'll release when its ready is not an answer to the question "when will it release?"
"Debian is the distro that a lot of business [uses] and [its] development is dependent on the stability factor. If someone wants bleeding edge, release-often systems, then perhaps they should look elsewhere." -- I call BS. Noone is talking bleading edge. We are talking current. No business will use ANY OS that doesnt commit to a release date. Corperations will not make IT based on a bunch of 'when its ready' statements.
------Hilarious skit---------------
Manager: "We need to upgrade our infrastructure. When is the new debian releasing?"
IT GUY: "They said 'when its ready'"
Manager: "Okay, we will hold off on the million dollar overhaul until then"
------Hilarious skit---------------
IF debian truly wants to be a big time player in the corperate server room than they need to SET RELEASE DATES AND HIT THEM. Short of that, debian will be an 'also-ran' in the distro race.
And, if debian stable is so great how come everyone that uses debian runs testing? Whats that? Stable is old, and outdated. Its getting hard to find hardware that it can install and run on. Oh, I see.
debian, dont talk unless you have a release date or an actual release announcment.
