Maybe you should document yourself before commenting and sharing such a strongly worded opinion.

I am seriously doubting that you ever applied any security update on a server running Debian stable by yourself. That's the point of security updates on stable releases, they fix only the security vulnerabilities but do not introduce functional changes and have a limited risk of breakage.
