I recently tried to use few unstable releases from fink and discovered 
that they were not so harmfull, the worst that arose is impossible to 
install / impossible to use package(nautilus for example). Thus i 
decided to add unstable to my config.
However I would like to be able to know via "fink list" if I am 
installing an unstable or a stable package. Can�t it be signaled 
somehow ?
Furthermore I am really afraid to do any update-all now: if several of 
the updates can come from an unstable and something goes wrong it�ll be 
impossible to identify the precise 'bad guy'. Can�t there be an option 
like selfupdate-safe and update-all-safe ?

Please forgive me if these options already exist & I was to stupid/lazy 
to find the good f.a.q./how to on the fink website.
