It probably is at that, but it sure is more annoying. Packages in Testing
break once in awhile. Package in Unstable break three times a week, seems
like, and they break in totally obnoxious ways. "Oops, you need to remove
everything related to KDE and X so you can install the latest version of the
ncurses libraries." Every time I start to track Unstable, I wind up going
back to Testing in short order.
But if I were running an important server, there's no question that I would
use Stable. It's 40,000 years old, but it's, well, STABLE. Like the rock of
Gibraltar.
