If we were to drop stable I would have to start maintaining my own stable lists to determine what would be ready to into production for my company.=C2=A0In production "works most of the time" and "good enough" simply aren't good enough. I estimate that would at least equal the amount of time I'm currently spending on Gentoo work, and consequently my contributions to Gentoo would dwindle to a halt. Most likely I would start looking at other solutions altogether. > More troubleshooting and fixing "hard" problems, less routine work. Except that some of that routine work is actually what I enjoy doing in Gentoo. I already get plenty of the other two in my day job.
