I would agree. However, there's these guys: www.grml.org, who take it
for granted that people will use it in a production environment:
Notice: If you are using grml in a [production] environment and/or
use a grml2hd installation we strongly recommend to subscribe to
the grml-user mailinglist!
Good advice.
Pretty cool looking distro, fwiw. I'm looking forward to playing with
it (no opportunity yet). Debian based SystemRescueCD based on unstable.

Stable, yes. Backports, for a server? I'd build from source instead.
Of course, that could mean dependency hell ...
Instead, just wean yourself from having to run bleeding edge software.
