well what about arch and gentoo even sidux (which is basically debian sid).. they can go on forever without being "replaced".
With Sidux it is recommended to do "dist-upgrade" ideally once a week and at least once a month. http://manual.sidux.com/en/sys-admin-apt-en.htm#apt-upgrade
With *buntu you need that every six months or eighteen months in case of LTS
