Right, but what I was referring to is that most other distributions do either 
not have an "enterprise product" or if they have, apply an extra selection 
process when deciding what to add to that product.

E.g. Fedora or OpenSUSE are updated in short intervals, providing a proving 
ground for the backing company's enterprise product but not being the direct 
future copy of it.
So they are more flexible in which version enters the community product as they 
can still not select versions for the enterprise product they would feel 
unconfortable of supporting. Debian more or less needs to make that decision 
at the Experimental -> Unstable transition.

Cheers,
Kevin
