I've been using Fink unstable for years. I'd say you're generally safe. fink's validator, which people are _supposed_ to use, should catch destructive errors before packages are committed. Moreover, maintainers without commit access (and even those with it) frequently don't move stuff over to stable. -- Alexander K.
