As people have often explained on this list, the choice of the term
unstable is somewhat unfortunate.  You're saying that it works pretty
well except for the occasional breakage, but what unstable really means
is that stuff *changes*.  For example, Shorewall will get upgraded, and
voila, no more networking until you rewrite your configuration files,
after having learned the new format.
