They do release a new version every 6 months, however they also do an LTS (long term support) release every 4th release (2 years). The LTS releases have more emphasis on testing and stability and less on new features than the standard releases

I found the LTS release bothersome, as some key patches weren't backported (especially PHP). Our internal pen test guys kept giving me grief, so I was forced to upgrade to the non-LTS release. (Installing the software from source was another option, but not worth the longterm maintenance headache)

Do other distributions suffer from this issue?
