We talk about experienced users here, but if such users are unable
to find old versions of the debian-reference in the archive, they  should
better not mix up stable and oldstable (and therefore risk to break
the next dist-upgrade and similar), since they are *not* experienced users, 
but - ok, I will stop that here.
