I think that this is the key. If the user is competent enough there is no harm suggesting to them that they run unstable/testing with the usual caveats (it is *unstable* after all). For ordinary users, however, I think that stable should be recommended. Note that *ordinary* users aren't power users and probably aren't competent enough to deal with the bugs that unstable will inevitably bring. -D
