    For the target users of Debian stable? No.

    Debian stable is for servers or other applications where security and predictability are paramount. For that application I absolutely do not want a lot package churn. Quite the opposite.

    Meanwhile Sid provides a rolling release experience that in practice is every bit as stable as any other rolling release distro.

    And if I have something running stable and I really need to pull in the latest of something, I can always mix and match.

    What makes Debian unique is that it offers a spectrum of options for different use cases and then lets me choose.

    If you don’t want that, fine, don’t use Debian. But for a lot of us, we choose Debian because of how it’s managed, not in spite of it.
