I understood that Unstable == Sid from Andrew's detailed message in this thread and it's also on confirmed on this page: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable. I was not thinking this would cause more (or significantly more anyway) work than we already do. Dot releases are tested. It might even be *less* work as upgrades would be incremental and smaller rather than large. Thinking back, this is one of the beauties of Testing is that things happen incrementally over time. Sure, I may have to fix something here and there but that often turns out to be easier and less stressful than doing a major upgrade and having to set aside an entire weekend. Michael Grant
