and in my experience running a comple 'unstable' system is a lot less 
troublesome then a 'stable' system. 

Why? Because the real problems hit stable users too - just a bit later (I have 
gentoo users among my friends - they run stable, they run in problems I solved 
for myself weeks/month ago. Or run into problems I never had..). So the only 
bonus about running 'stable':
old software.
