You don't have a complete view on the situation, probably because you're a geek. Stable is not limited to servers. Almost every municipality, NGO, business coproration, etc. run Debian stable on their workstations for very good reasons. It is absolutely great, very easy to maintain, and the users don't care about the hottest stuff, they care to get their job done. I can assure you that GNOME 2.8 runs fine on stable and it is more than good for a generic business activity. So the "bulk of people Stable is created for" is tremendously large, just try to imagine it. It is not limited to the kiddies that hang on IRC. [Yavor, who actually works as a shipbroker but voluntarily supports all machines in the company; and is suffering great pain since the boss, looking at his desktop running Debian testing, ordered the migration from stable to testing for all the workstations 2 years ago.] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
