If you ever get tired of the lies and damn lies about your fellow
LUGgers that help produce debian, then try some statistics like
http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/blog/2005/04/14#2005-04-14-sarge-v-hoary

  "we get 2829 packages newer in sarge, 79 packages newer in hoary
  than sarge, 496 packages present in hoary and sid but not sarge, and
  427 packages not present in sid. So if you’re looking for pure
  currency, Debian’s still doing significantly better when it comes to
  universe." [I'm not aware of the numbers on more recent releases.]

debian has a bit more time between major stable releases than some
commercial operations (but are they as stable? ;-) ), but the point
releases and the upgrade availability (source or backports binaries)
are usually pretty good.
