My understanding is that "stable" means unchanging. That is "stable"
doesn't change (except for security updates) whereas "unstable" (or Sid)
is constantly changing -- hence unstable. It does NOT mean "buggy",
"likely to crash" ... etc!

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god
than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
