And I'd like to give a really easy-to-understand picture. What I'm looking for is perhaps more general:
- Not release specific
-> No updates required
-> Works as a general view of how Debian releases are organized
- Does not relate to changing statistics such as number of packages
-> Relates to how it works in practice
- Unstable is a random (averagely growing) graph
-> Illustrates how the packages are accepted into Debian and
-> What makes Debian so impressively stable :=)
I can see a few problems in my own graph, though:
- The balance of maturity (stability) and functionality (new features) is confusing because the stability is not illustrated, and unstable appears as the most feature-rich release.
- Changes in release policy might make the graph (especially for the stable branch).
