  running unstable there's a few mailing lists i'd follow
(release, devel and boot), ctte is also worth it for seeing
what issues people are hitting that haven't had an easy
answer yet.  transition tracker too.

  currently the python 3.10 transition is being worked on so
that may take some time to sort through.

  i don't really follow sid/unstable as that is a bit too
choatic for me.  testing is close enough for my interests
and a few selected packages and the most recent kernels are
about where i end up.  :)
