Sorry, but that's a misleading requirement. I'm proud about the work that's been done, but I'm not proud that 3.1 has security support for only a year after 4.0 was released. I'd love it if there would be resources donated for some sort of oldstable-security team, even if only for a subset of packages, but that's not where we are and I don't have those resources hidden under my bed. I guess debian makes upgrading too easy for resourceful enterprises ;-) Anyway, I think the phrasing "for such a long time" was ill-considered if the times given for openSUSE and CentOS are accurate. We seem to be about average, which is an achievement in itself. I suggest replacement wording (which no-one else seems to have done yet):- The Debian project is proud of its security team volunteers' support of 3.1 for a year after the release of the next version. If you don't like that, suggest another alternative without "for such a long time" or rebut the time claims, please.
