While I'm on the subject, could you clear up something for me?

I built several "testing" machines over ayear agao, and I've been routinely
doing (at least once a week) apt-get updtae, apt-get dist-upgrade for oaver
a year without having any significant packeages removed. Have I jsut been
lucky? Is my practice a bad idea?
