Interesting proposal all around -- just that /if/ there is a suite in Debian you could call "rolling", then it's unstable, not testing. Testing has those freeze phases, just before it becomes the "next stable" -- with the corresponding rushes of instability just after. The whole process is pretty well thought out and we Debian users do appreciate it. > 1. Motivation: Why?

Paraphrasing this a little: *Avoid using Ubuntu or > distributions based on Ubuntu, such as Debian, on newer devices [...] I would take this person's advice about Debian with a grain of salt (or three), since they don't even seem to know that Ubuntu is based on Debian (and not the other way around). Actually Debian is, AFAIK, the living distro which has the most [1] derivatives, so it seems to be doing one or two things right :-) Cheers [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution -- tomás
