You got a good answer. The devs are probably taking at least a couple of 
weeks off after the new stable release push to Jessie.

There are those users who stay continuously with Sid, and my hat is off 
to them. But, it's always a good idea to wait JUST A BIT, unless you 
enjoy fixing surprises and making useful bug-reports.

That said, we do have a great bunch of devs and package managers, so if 
you feel froggy, jump straight in to testing! That decision is on you as 
always. Enjoy! Ric
