I doubt it. Most people running stable on a workstation will keep it up to date, they won't upgrade after missing an entire release. Most people running stable on a server are very keen on doing anything that will reduce the chance of having to reinstall, with ten years' worth of tweaks to add, and will follow the release notes to the letter. There will only be a few who claim that jumping a release is a great thing to do. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
