No, as a rule slink works but you're right, people break things now and then (ie the last major thing to be broken was bash for example) that we don't want the avg. user mucking with. But from a practical standpoint, beyond those occasional oopses, slink is stable for what's currently in it. > About the fact that you're running a mixed hamm/slink system, this is good > because this way you can effectively help the testing process, but maybe it > would be better to help test the full hamm, and wait some weeks to move to > slink. I moved to slink when more than one or two packages I needed from it were not available in hamm. Most everything I see coming across the system now is frozen and unstable dists so it's no biggie.
