   I typically use -current, but your remark got me curious:   
     if, say, during the last 10 years I'd installed/re-installed   
   -current 100 times at random intervals, then how many times   
   would package bugs, that weren't present in -stable, have   
   caused "noticeable" (whatever that means) problems?   
     That is, what percentage of -current releases have   
   non-trivial problems not also present in -stable?
