I'm running unstable in a chroot, but I hardly work there. I'm working with the current sid packages backported to my sarge box. After all, I'm using it not only for maintaining Debian packages, but also for doing unrelated paid work, and I couldn't afford to have "fun" and "unpredictible" effects. Whether there are bugs that need to be fixed before it moves into testing, this has to be done by the community. After all, even RC bugs, let alone normal and important ones, often need some tweaking and adjustment before I can reproduce them on my system.
