I'm curious: how important is getting updates fast in the context of a
server? I understand that for desktops, some want the latest features,
or support for new hardware, etc. but servers? Doesn't it make more
sense to just run something like Debian *stable*?
I am no hosting expert, so it's not a criticism - I'm just curious.
