I actually completely took sid out this past weekend, have you done an update?
We've already been getting lots of bug reports from people trying to install who
probably wanted to be using potato. I had visions of people installing sid and
making their systems completely unbootable or corrupting their drives. I see what
you mean about sid being better than testing sometimes, though. With a strong
warning, as long as we make sure it gets translated.
I'll stick sid back in.
