Having an in-your-face FAQ about all these points would be OK, but people spreading the FUD would not care regardless.
There is a group of people that will not read any manual, but think they still know everything regardless. They will look at stable/testing/unstable and proclaim from the bottom of their orifices that they know what these stand for. They will ignore the Debian Reference at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.html even though it is two clicks away from the main page (click on Docs then the Debian Reference). So the bottom line is people that listen/spreading FUD will probably not be addressed by this FAQ because they are not interested in reading documentation in the first place. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
