What problem and what is the solution?  Debian releases when done, not
at a specific date (whether it is done or not), and Gentoo, well they
seem to just release a lot.

Of course if you have people on a payroll that you can tell what to work
on, and you can decide what features not to include because they don't
work right yet, then you can decide when to release.  Debian doesn't
have people on a payroll, and doesn't throw away features just because
they aren't working right now and a release would be nice (well some
less commonly used packages will be tossed from a release at some point
if they have critical bugs).
