It's called Unstable because it changes frequently.  The biggest problem
with Sid is dependency problems.  Because a new version of any package
can be uploaded to Sid at any time without regard to dependencies one
can get stuck for a while waiting for an upload.  Following -devel helps
avoid that.  It's been years since I've experienced anything more
serious.
