Lost Trust
I'm a recent convert to debian at home and I was considering switching
to it for development at work. I've been tracking sarge weeklies with
jigdo and lost my network device when the tg3 network driver was
removed without warning.
I have to say I'm very disappointed. I had this implicit trust that
releases would get progressively better. On my part, I would test
them and if anything broke, I would help debug it.
I never would have guessed that my working system would have been
intentionally broken.
The lists don't offer any consolation - I now see it was deleted because
a patch to fix broken hardware was not offered in source form. Right.
Do I have to read every changelog.Debian before accepting package
upgrades? Is there any reason I should trust debian again?
