I don't really understand peoples concern. If Sarge was released tomorrow it would be the same group of packages sitting there today (relatively speaking). My point is if you think Sarge is stable (which it is) then go ahead and upgrade/install. What difference do the politics play? Security fixes are still going into Sarge even though it hasn't been officially released (at least this is what I've read). I realize there are other reasons for wanting Sarge to be officially released. I want the release just so we can start working x.org into Sid. Personally I think Sid is just as stable as any other distro and the Debian maintainers deserve much credit for giving us the newest toys at a very minimal risk. Considering the amount of packages we are talking about, I think it's pretty damn amazing we have as little problems as we do using Sid. -- "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein
