I was under the impression that woody was safer than sid from a
"apt-get upgrade won't crash my system" point of view rather than from
a security perspective. If you want security, stick with potato.
Bleeding-edge software (or near bleeding-edge software) rarely can
give you the kind of security assurance that you need if you put a
security.debian.org line in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
OTOH, there is some software in potato which is quite old (such as
OpenSSH, as the recent bug showed). But the security team did a
wonderful job in backporting the spatch.
