The one that pisses me off is that the particular extensions I use have not been ported forward yet (and may or may not be), so upgrading irreparably breaks my user experience. The one you should care about is that as a responsible system administrator I can't even consider deploying Debian to hundreds desktops unless I know the quoted Debian standard above is being followed. Nor can anyone else in a position to deploy large numbers of Debian desktops. Time comes, I'll be asked why not Red Hat and unlike on the server side I won't be able to say, "stability."
