Am I the only one that favors using the actual names rather than the
aliases? I used unstable for a while, then, with no warning,
unstable was bumbed from woody to a very broken sid, and that
machine got hosed. It took me a long time to figure out what
happened. Since the aliases can be bumped without warning to the
next release, I think people should use the proper names for the
releases in order to stay out of trouble.
