Makes sense. I would be very careful before moving them to sid though.

I don't agree with this. "Legacy" releases *are* meant for
production. And they're more mature/stable than "Production"
releases. I think it's good for end users that they can choose (note:
Debian has given this choice for Linux a number of times, e.g. v2.4 /
v2.6).

If you're concerned about upgrades, in upstream "Rebuilding world"
document kernel is updated first. Shouldn't we do the same?
Different upgrade path may expose different problems.
