Does SB have any plans to support anything but Debian 'Stable'? I could take our server to 'Testing' and lose my ability to send trouble tickets, but that doesn't seem like a good idea.
Stable is certainly stable, but it's a real pain when your development environment has more modern versions of the software you plan to run. Deploying Ruby and Java in particular is heartbreaking on Stable.
'Testing' is a good compromise between 'Stable' and 'Unstable'. It's a toss-up whether it is worse to support people who have borked their dpkg database vs. people who have borked their system trying to work around a stale repository.
