No, I could just run Etch if I was all that worried. I do restrict
myself to just "apt-get upgrade" rather than loose little old gedit
these days.
I could always use kedit to check my spelling I guess, but it would be a
hoot to see gedit and abiword fixed in a big ugrade ahead of oppenoffice
and kedit. Just once.
I am not really complaining, as running Sid is all about breaking things
once in a while. The development branch of Ubuntu has broken X every
other day for months --- while Sid has played well with his toys so far.
