I used to run unstable with irregular updates, and manually backport upstream security fixes to the version in unstable (especially if a new Debian packages was not available in unstable). >From time to time, there was quite a lot of significant breakage (especially when we weren't as close to the release as we are now), but as I didn't have to fulfill any SLAs, it was typically no big deal to sort out the issues when they arose. A different model uses unstable and periodic updates (say on a fixed day of the week), and security updates from unstable. This works reasonably well, too, although I wouldn't recommend to follow this model after the sarge release (because unstable will probably be less stable for a few months; there are some quite significant transitions that have been delayed so far because of the release). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
