Debian seems to be trying to support too many architectures, i think this is one of its biggest downfalls.
I think only x86 users really think this. Maybe there is some argument for having different release methods, but Debian's broad support wins it many friends. I hear about certain projects who look to Debian to find portability bugs in their code.
Ok so sarge is going to be late and contain old software when it becomes stable, whats new?
Is it frozen yet? Why should it be older at release than any usual?
The only problem i can see with Debian is that its standards are higher then most other distro's and it does not have the support(in £$£$). I still think the distro is great.
It's harder to quantify the support it has, as debian's own funds are scattered and only the tip of the iceberg. It's also hard to be sure about the standards: Debian is probably one of the most open about them, though.
Remember the salt when reading as i don't really have a clue,
Let's just take that yellow thing by the road, eh?
