Yes, in terms of unstability for sure.
If it would be as easy as getting glibc 2.1 from cvs and the kernel from
kernel.org and recompiling the software, it would still take some time
(recompiling 1500 packages for glibc needs a few days), but we would still
beat everyone.
Alas, we also want the software to be fully functional.
If you need/want bleeding edge, Debian unstable is *always* released :)
Thanks,
