By a long time -- potato was frozen for a few months when 2.0 came out.

My bet is that woody starts freezing as soon as 2.4.0 is out. 
Note that once it starts freezing, 2.1 doesn't have a shot
of getting in, regardless of how long it takes to freeze.
OTOH, since in woody time there's a good chance for the "testing"
distribution, a lot more people would be running something
that *can* and *will* upgrade to 2.1 almost as soon as it is
out.
(For the record, most of the Debian users I know run woody on 
their server)
