I 100% agree with you Doug, I use -stable exclusively here, and when
I find a bug I usually take the time out to research it and produce a
quality bug report, or if its within my means, a patch.  Obviously after
expending this effort I want to see it committed to -stable as well as
-current, otherwise submitting bug reports is of no benefit to me.
