Debian has stable and unstable releases. I use Debian unstable and Fedora to check for issues in "mission critical" apps to help ensure they get noticed and fixed before wide adoption. The majority of installations use Ubuntu LTS releases which generally track Debian stable releases. Large organizations often expect new systems to need startup work, but then expect them to run with patch updates for 5 years (plus 2 years it takes to do "new business cases, new threat/risk assessments, purchase, and commissioning"). This means there are still "mission critical" systems running RHEL/CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. -- George N. White III
