Right. For me I fubared a kernel upgrade of my machine at home. I was
at work at the time and ended up having an 8 hour downtime because I couldn't
immediately access the machine. I think what I should have said is simply to
take your chances on the upgrades. Debian is very good about stability on
upgrades but, as with anything, there will be problems. I don't think I'll
ever really complain about a show stopper like that in an unstable branch
when it causes problems I could have avoided by doing the upgrade while in a
position that made it easy to back out of it.
