I've been using unstable (now frozen) since before potato, mostly because there have been features I need only offered in unstable. This started before the fantastic work began on point releases of slink. So far I don't mind, because unstable has been stable enough for me.
However, as a Debian user, I'd encourage and appreciate continuing the practice of making those point releases every 2/3 months containing updates of key packages, as necessary. In my case that would include TeTeX, Emacs, Perl, Python, and other major packages. AFAICT there's nothing to prevent 2.4 from being included as an option in some future point release. Right now I'm *eagerly* awaiting the time when potato becomes stable so I can get some new CD's -- the latest ones I have are from hamm! :-) -- Jesse Jacobsen, Pastor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Grace Lutheran Church (ELS) http://www.jvlnet.com/~jjacobsen/ Madison, Wisconsin GnuPG public key ID: 2E3EBF13
