For the average non-techie user who does not want to compile
themselves that may sound funny (if not scary).

When Debian Lenny (featuring Asterisk 1.4) is finally going to be
released that version might not even be supported any more.

Does that indicate Debian (don't really know about other distros)
is too slow?
Does it mean the development goes "too fast"?
Is it a problem with VoIP in general?
Does it mean there is no point for a distro to provide VoIP
packages because if you want roughly the version everybody else
is using you will have to compile it anyway?
