Debian and its clones The resignation of Matthew Garrett, one of the most active developers in Debian, has drawn attention to some ongoing issues about how the project operates. Specifically, Garrett's announcement on his blog cites a lack of civility and a slowness in decision-making, and compares Debian unfavorably to Ubuntu, the Debian-derived distribution which is increasingly attracting the efforts of many Debian maintainers.

A fair number of packages do get upgrades due to security.

I would also say the stable version is fairly bug free and therefore should not crash so it covers both somewhat. ;)
