With Debian one can choose a specific [1]release (Wheezy, Jessie, Stretch, Sid (roling release)), or old-stable (Wheezy), stable (Jessie, will become old-stable)), testing (Stretch, will become stable), experimental and unstable (Sid, always unstable). old-stable, stable, etc, are just symlinks. Linux all about choice. And Debian does not guarantee anything either. You get to keep the pieces though. I would like to pin my server to 'nixos-stable', just as my laptop is on 'nixos-unstable' (mostly because of wayland).
