Have you ever owned a video card that's under four years old.  I need
the hardware support of newer releases.  Nearly 2 years ago I had to
load sid in order to support my radeon 8500.  That card was long in
the tooth then and hardly newer today.  I notice that stable still
doesn't support it.

If you can.  Some people like to buy reasonably modern hardware for
all sorts of reasons.
