Sounds like Debian stable, except worse because you wait longer for new software versions.

>The Enterprise Linux model works something like this: It’s decided to snapshot a collection of upstream open source projects at a specific version, including the Linux kernel, to form as the basis of a new cohesive version of an Enterprise Linux distribution. This collection of software will remain locked at its specific version throughout the lifespan of that Enterprise Linux distribution release – which is often 10 years or more. The engineers, maintainers, and testers behind these distributions then put in the enormous amount of thankless work of bug fixes, tests, QA, documentation, etc. It’s a massive undertaking of tedious painstaking work. At the end of the process, you end up with a relatively stable Linux distribution that works well and they release it to the world.
