Yes, I expressed that badly. Blame the fact that I was more than half asleep. And of course, if I change it, it is not stable. But what name would you give to a Stable installation, which has had a very small number of changes installed? It seems to me that it is legitimate to say: I want my desktop to be basically Stable, but usable in the real world. And there is no shorthand name for that.
