If you know, how to pull yourself out of the mud, are able to file bug
reports, read bug reports und know how to use apt-listchanges and
apt-listbugs, _then_ you can use Sid. (Been doing that for over 15 years
myself.)
If one wants to use Sid, he/she should know about the following things:
- how to boot your system from a rescue medium (and have one ready)
- how to unpack a DEB without using the Debian tools and only with "ar"
- how to identify a broken library and revert to a working one
- be able to interpret linker error messages
- know where to find the relevant system log files and how to read them
- how to pin pacakges to a specific version
- know about snapshot.debian.org
- tracker.debian.org
- https://release.debian.org/transitions/
- how to rebuild a package using pbuilder/cowbuilder/sbuild
- debug packages and basic GDB usage
- reportbug
- generally understand how a Linux boot works
If one needs an always working system, she/he better stick with Stable
or Testing (as soon as it has cooled down enough).

Sven
