He didn't say he wanted something stable. He said he wanted something that
would work. Woody is out-of-date practically and will very soon be out of
date literally. It would be unfortunate to begin planning a system based
on it now, even if it did work.

In the context of the above older message, it looks to me like Jon is
developing a Debian-based, lightweight distribution suitable for schools,
etc. Ironically, an experienced debian developer replied to the above
message advising him to use sarge.

It's lucky you pointed that out explicitly.
