One concern is broken kernels; old working kernel is removed due to new kernel version is installed, but new one does work. It may be kernel crash (ex: oops during bootup), or some module breakage (ex: sound module cannot resolve its symbols correctly). In other words, I (and I guess a lot of people) have been used between "working" or "non-working" kernels via kernel package version number. Except for this worry, it's nice idea. I think asking to debian-devel and so on is generally good idea to hear thoughts of user/developer. > there is still snapshot.d.o for unhappy testers. Note that recently snapshot.d.o got fs crash; it's still under fsck recovery. snapshot.d.o is not perfect solutions for such users...
