It doesn't crash all the time if this is what you are asking. Actually, it hardly ever crashes, at least in my experience. Packages in unstable should generally be release quality (otherwise they would go to experimental), they just haven't been tested as much as testing or stable, so serious bugs might lurk. Sid is called "unstable" because it is a rolling release and you get package updates 4 times per day. Of course, you are not forced to install them, but waiting too much (say longer than a few weeks) might get you in a spot where bringing it up to date can be quite difficult.
