DESCRIPTION:
For many years I've been fond of Debian and have used it for side hobby projects. But I've had to use Ubuntu and Fedora for real work because I need a modicum of certainty about the intervals between releases.
I acknowledge that Ubuntu's rigid release-every-6-months, LTS-every-24 is impractical for a volunteer project with high standards. But without any firm timeline it's impossible for me to plan and use Debian in production.
For example, a commitment that releases will always be spaced somewhere between 6 and 24 months, would go a long way.
