Well "end user" is a broad range :-)
I guess quite some people do run unstable on their regular systems like
I do, which gives them kind of a rolling release, while at the same
time being 99,xx% super stable (at least in my experience)... and on
the other hand helps Debian at a whole, as much more testing is done.

Suggesting such people to use the testing suite is only a partial
replacement, as that generally lacks some packages (like firefox).

Uhm? No I'm absolutely fine... an do no in any way think that you (or
anyone else) should have "performed any better" - nor would I have any
such demands/expectations. :-)

I see. Well I guess that's then already enough of instructions for any
end user (in the sense of "is not a glib expert" user).


Thanks,
