Stability is certainly a goal. Since the distribution has less components than
Debian, it usually ships with non outdated software on release.

Then they take 5 years to make a new release, at which point the Stable release
gets a bit outdated :-) But since you get security updates for the Stable
branch all through its lifecycle, it is not a problen unless you do need new
features.

A lot of people seem to jump to the development (Current) branch of Slackware
if they take too long to release a new Stable. Current is like Debian testing:
it works for most people.
