I would go so far as to say that "Debian Unstable" is an oxymoron.


From WordNet (r) 2.0 (August 2003) [wn]:

  unstable
...
      6: subject to change; variable; "a fluid situation fraught with
         uncertainty"; "everything was unstable following the coup"
          [syn: {fluid}]

Uh-oh, I obviously should consult a dictionary before shooting off my
mouth like that...

In my defense, I am a chemist and this seems to have determined my
interpretation of the term:

4. Chemistry
   a. Decomposing readily.
   b. Highly or violently reactive.
