That was 2005, 7 years ago. I wonder how long a Free Software distro should be held accountable for something like that.

Now look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Release_history and take the average of release cycle duration for releases since then. It's 22.6 months, with a very low variance, and it's been like that for 7 years.

That might not match the definition of "time-based release", but it's pretty reliable if you ask me.
