Since a new stable Debian was just released, it should be relatively easy for them to roll out their "core" release now. It will become interesting, however, to see what happens in a year or two when stable is more out-of-date and a new stable release is not yet on the horizon.

Debian has to move to time-based release schedules anyway. A slip of one month is no problem, but one has to know, whether the next release will be 2006-12 (which I hope and expect) or around 2007.
