Re: Hate mail from Debian people
This is not considered as a "hate mail".
The OP wanted incremental softwares all the time, go for fedora if you cannot distinguish between stable/unstable.
- - -> "Also, for work systems I always just use stable. I don't need the newest version if it means something might break. But I do feel like things are getting harder to keep up, like maybe "stable" is getting too old. It would be nice as you say to upgrade some of the big packages slowly, somehow, without breaking 100 other dependencies." <- - -
Work systems, "if its critical" , use -s switch to avoid breaking dependencies.
- - -> "But I would personally LOVE it if from now on Debian "stable" were just an incremental upgrade." <- - -
Thats's why its stable, go for fedora if you want incremental upgrades. :-)

That was hardly a "hate mail", though rather uninformed (for incremental
upgrades you don't have to move to other distros, testing and unstable
have that).

And not from "Debian people" either, since Keshwarsingh Nadan only
speaks for him/herself; that he/she owns a domain which has "debian" in
its name does not mean anything.
