Debian Lenny (5.0) Release Date

If you are wondering, like me, what happened to the Debian’s upcoming release a.k.a Lenny/5.0, here is a short story for you curious types.
The Story
Debian Lenny was slotted to release earlier this September 2008 as per the release goals. However due to a large number of RC (Release Critical) bugs which were not fixed the release date has been push forward. Right now the release date is not set. Although it looks like it will get release as soon as the RC Bugs are fixed. Lenny has been frozen since July 2008.
The latest RC Bugs stats can be seen here and a graph here. As of this writing, there are still 160 RC bugs which still needs to be fixed. Debian is one of the few (or perhaps) the only community supported Linux distro which often sacrifices the release date for quality and this philosophy of Debian is perhaps the most liked by it’s followers. Debian is undoubtedly known as the “rock solid” distribution in the Linux world. Now you can see why.
