From this Slashdot entry’s commentary we get this amusing little gem:

These are some of the things that happened between Debian releases:
a) The Olympic games returned to Greece.
b) The Pope died.
c) A German Pope got elected in a conclave.
d) Apple switched to Intel.
e) Watergate’s Deep Throat identity was revealed.
f) The French rejected the European Constitution
g) Boston won the World Series.

Never let it be said that the Debian maintainers are in anything resembling a hurry… and if you’re in a hurry for the latest-greatest but want that wonderful Debian flavor, may I recommend Ubuntu?
