Dis away, crimson-pated one!

Debian issues security updates to stable, but that's it. Considering the
shakedown it gets on its path from unstable through testing, there
aren't many bugs in stable once it's written in stone. And yes, it is
often well after many of the package versions are months old.

It works surprisingly well, considering.

When I chose POP3 servers a while ago, I had no compunctions about
installing one after another just to read their docs and look at their
files. ;-) dpkg offers near-100% rollback long-term.
