8	When in the last 16 years was this 2 year period of running stable?
9	The general state of QA has varied quite a bit over that time.

11	Judging by the open bugs anybody running unstable systemd has been
12	going through a bit of pain in the last week as various scripts/etc
13	are updated to handle the change in install location. Now, it could
14	have been masked initially, but that is really no different except it
15	is a different set of guinea pigs. If unstable never breaks chances
16	are we aren't actually using it for its intended purpose, not that we
17	should be deliberately breaking things.
