You've not been a sysadmin until you've learned to worship the "don't fix if
it ain't broken" rule. :)
Other than the fact our upgrade procedures are good but never perfect, the
month of extended support for slink after potato was released is being very

I don't think we should even bother discussing this.
Nothing to see here people, move along...
