My, isn't that a clever solution. Problem is, in N number of
months -Current will be -Stable. Not to mention that every time someone
has to upgrade from -Stable to -Current from now on (for entirely
legitimate reasons) they will have to do this unique procedure. This is
really a much bigger problem than people seem to realize (however
necessary it may ultimately turn out to be).
