In general, there are not too many problems or breakages with unstable. Occasionally, complex packages will experience RC bugs or other such things will happen. Security is generally handled quickly as well, as new package versions are first uploaded into unstable anyways. The problem is that as an administrator, you have no guarantee that the behavior of your system will remain the same from one dist-upgrade to the next. If you are running services in production, this could be a problem. If you can stand occasional down time while you sort out such issues or if you have additional test servers, this tends to not be as much of a problem. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
