Now that's an interesting idea. Makes sense. It sounds like I should
either learn to live with stable packages only, or go all out testing.
There's a middle way too, at least for me. I run stable for almost
everything, but
if there's a feature I really can't live without, I go ~x86 on the
specific package
and <emphasis>version</emphasis> that has the feature I want.
The advantage from my point of view is that the ~arch stuff becomes
moot
automatically, and I revert to stable as time goes on and the
subject version
goes stable or is superceded by a later version that does so. That
package
does not have to live on the bleeding edge forever.
Me, too. It works for me & I rarely have problems.
