Hi, We stick to Debian stable to avoid maintaining security updates by hand, except for a very few packages that we maintain manually or get from active backports.org packages (see "manually maintained packages" in the wiki). The fact it was just released makes me fear we'll run into troubles. This means that the one who install it will have to commit to its security updates and user support - not me :p -- Sylvain
