Yeah I am aware of that. However, I have monitoring on available 
updates. When a new version is released, I will see that there are 
hundreds of packages for upgrade, it's not something you can easily miss 
unless you're not managing your servers properly.

Admittedly, I do put etch in my sources.lst though, but I'm not 
convinced whether etch or stable is better really...
