To be fair, if you're experiencing bugs in the testing distribution and not filing them, then you really have no right to complain when they're not resolved…

- asveikau 12y agoThis is actually a common way that a lot of people run debian, or at least used to be last I checked. Often if you don't do this you get an old kernel version that doesn't work with the latest hardware. (I've built machines, put Debian stable on them, and the SATA controller is completely unrecognized, whereas unstable works.) I have been running Debian this way for a long time without any major complaints. For something as critical as boot, typically my expectations established by years of use is they don't fuck it up this badly, don't merge in piece of shit software and make everything else depend on it. That expectation was broken egregiously for the first time ever for me, during a period of ~15 years of use. I am not exaggerating when I say I have been a Debian fan for a long time and I really question where the quality is going. But OK, you and others are entitled to think I'm being capricious and haven't thought it out.
