The difference of course is, Debian offers a stable release life of over 2
years prior. That is hardly as aggravating as making a major migration
While this is true in the past, it had been said that newer Debian
release cycles would go to 6-12 month cycles. I thought when asked the
security team said that would not change how long they would maintain
software after a new release. [This was from last year or so...]
