I'd ask them to explain the Debian release schedule. My take on it is that what they call stable is not what you want to run - and if you run something that isn't in stable, it is your fault, not theirs if it has problems.
Oh, the Debian release schedule is pretty simple. It's released when it's ready.
_nothing_ in Debian is secret, just browse www.debian.org for all the information about packages (there are lots), standards, bugs, help fo users, help for developers and the fine command of language which they use to describe each other as needs arise. And their insistance on freedom and the deficiencies in the GFDL.
To see what Debian could be, see www.ubuntu.com. Canonical sponsors Ubuntu, and the Ubuntu release schedule is simple too. April and October. This year, next year.... Its first release had Gnome 2.8 when Sarge had 2.6.
Or mephis, but I don't have a link atm.
