Not as easy as you think. I write device drivers; for instance, one of
my customers manufacturers microprocessor-based systems. Right now they
are using Debian, but are now looking for another distro. It's not
something they do lightly or quickly; even now they may not have time
before service is dropped for Wheezy. And I need to be running the same
software they are.

Where did I ever say I wouldn't do a complete shakedown? But this is
the type of bug which can bite you weeks or months after the install.
It doesn't occur minutes, hours or even days later. And Murphy says it
will happen at the worst possible time.

This is a Debian User list. Why don't you want bugs which affect Debian
users discussed here? And that's what I have seen here - at least until
you started complaining about the thread.
