Why shouldn't a developer encourage an ordinary user to run unstable? * It would speed up the bug finding process. (Don't mention testing, please) * For most users, unstable is stable enough for daily use. * Whether unstable should be used by ordinary users, is still somewhat controversial. Until this is officially resolved, enforcing this restriction would result in a minor freedom deprivation. * Some may enjoy having a constant stream of newly added bugs, or maybe not.
