How stable is the frozen stretch?

I am thinking about trying out Stretch (Debian 9) in either a spare laptop or a virtual machine. If I like it I might just point my sources list to that repo on both laptops if it's stable enough. My question is, once it's "frozen", how stable is it or is it still pretty much not suitable for

I can't see how dd could have been the culprit. dd is a block for block copy and does not modify the data as it copies. I don't doubt that the setup bits were changed, but I would suggest that you look for what really changed those bits to prevent a future occurrence. 73's, de WB5VQX -- The Very Q
