I've been using Sid for years, and while it's usually perfectly usable, there are, occasionally, Really Bad Things that happen. The worst one that happened to me that I recall was this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491114 In my case, no X, no networking, and everything generally behaving mysteriously weirdly. That was more than two years ago, and I may not have been running apt-listbugs then. In any case, it was this list that saved me (thanks again, Sven!), although to get to the list, I had to fire up Windows.
