Who says that? 

Do people who don't want to fiddle around with libc6-stuff wait half a
year for an upgrade?

I am afraid of installing unstable, I don't want to spend too much time
to find bugs. But If I have to wait until Debian 2.0 is released I don't
see the point in these quick and beautiful ftp upgrades. If I always have
to use software which is four months behind, I can buy a cd, that's
faster. 

The ftp/dselect method was, why I changed to debian. Why don't you try to
have something stable and actual?
