Am I the only one that favors using the actual names rather than the aliases? I used unstable for a while, then, with no warning, unstable was bumbed from woody to a very broken sid, and that machine got hosed. It took me a long time to figure out what happened. Since the aliases can be bumped without warning to the next release, I think people should use the proper names for the releases in order to stay out of trouble. a
