Irrelevant. The discussion up to this point had little to nothing to do
with MS Windows. It was a complaint about the lack of security support
in testing, and an argument for the "proven stability" of testing was
the uptime of a system. Then a conclusion was drawn from this uptime
that the release was "stable" and therefore in dire need of support from
the security team. I'm simply pointing out that uptime is a by product
of stability, but not necessarily a valid (or even useful) indicator of
it presence.
