Debian unstable... it just has a bad sound to it. :(
I was thinking, maybe the devs could vote on a new name for it. Please hear me out. After selecting a new name, then have the archives link "unstable" _and_ "new name" to the same place. After a few years it could easily be phased out.
Main Entry: unstable
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: doubtful

There are other synonyms that I'm sure aren't listed here. My favorite(not listed), would be "flux". I'm very new to the list here, but please consider this as a serious proposal.
[Pretend you're a new user(possibly coming from a less than stable OS...) and you were given the choice:
Debian unstable or Debian flux?
If anything, I think "nonstatic" would be most proper... but I don't think that's a real word.]
