"stable" being a mantra for servers and the way to go for releases (e.g.
Debian Stable: older, but stable, maintained and secured), the name is
really confusing. Similarly, UNIX admins and engineers are not too fond
on running things named testing, unstable or experimental on anything
besides a personal laptop or a "toy" server. I agree with Maciej.
