Sorry you missunderstood me. I didn't said I run lenny on them. Most of them are etch. Btw. at this time I don't see a real advantage to run a production server on lenny.

Obviously I am managing also some i386 boxes and also one powerpc ;-). Actually I am manging a large server farm and most of the servers run debian amd64 (even since it was an unofficial port).

I have been running testing for many years just fine, and also other debian based distros (like ubuntu for ex.) are build on testing or sid. I am sure we will not see the debian stable suffer from stability if they mange to release more often major versions. :-).

That's a good news :) The bad one is that they're going to release stable releases more often - I'm afraid this can affect stability and/or security or maybe reduce number of platforms supported :( Are they going to enable StackGuard/ProPolice GCC extensions by default?
