Speaking of stable vs. testing, why has woody taken so long to become 
stable? I though Woody was to become stable last summer? I've been running 
woody now for quite a while.

For the most part, I think Debian does it right - but, for example, debian 
stable is still running postgres 6.5, when it's been at 7.x for a  good 
long while now, and that was such a major improvement. I think this is true 
for a lot of packages, and my fear is that by the time woody becomes 
stable, it will be out of date already.

And for folks running sid (unstable) - how is it?
