Lest Debianites get a reputation on for irresponsibility on this list, let
me say this: tracking sid is a great idea for those who want the latest
(and probably the only way to use a full-scale distribution as it is
developed) and are savvy enough to detect, diagnose and back out the
inevitable breakages while maintaining system integrity. For everyone
else, there's "stable" or a strict backup regime.
