Points taken but I'm pretty sure there will be more servers running stable than current so hard to find bugs are more likely to be reported on by those masses allowing you to take preventative measures like installing current ;-) (I think the faq mentions this), stable also received the stop and test phase before more development that Theo talks about in his development cycle, of course that's part of what makes current so stable too. I don't have this problem but I wouldn't want to explain a beta message to my boss during boot up if a servers broke due to a bug in current. Though you should have redundancy in place anyway.
