yup.  Too much freshness inevitably leads to instability.  Especially 
for more-core packages, and I guess for more-popular (users?devs?) or 
less-popular distros.  Maybe if its ambition to "distrology" pays off, 
we'll be able to look at statistics for what the best trade-offs may be. 
  (Although I'm not sure how you can measure "instability".)
