I could easily agree, but this montly thread suggesting to change
unstable in latest _would_ break it. We should firmly stop it or follow
it finding a naming scheme that makes us all agree.
I have to remember that I didn't understood this scheme, the first time
I approached a Debian site, but in that time I charged my broken
english. Anyway I'm not the only one with this handycap, and I can't
consider fixing it a very bad idea.
But maybe could be better to write a good explanation and put it in
evidence on the sites. The Debian mirror nearest to me, ftp.funet.fi,
not a small one, still suggests people to use the directory debian-0.93
ftp> cd /pub/Linux/mirrors/debian
250-The current version of Debian GNU/Linux is 0.93 Release 6,
250-in the debian-0.93 directory here.
250-
Maybe this can be considered a marginal issue, but I consider Debian's
image of primary importance.
As someone else suggested, we should slow down our fury in the
development and try to follow users a little more closer.

italian newsgroups from people that, after 10 minutes of dselect,
switched to RedHat saying "debian fa schifo!". (decency impose me to not
translate).]
