If you are unsure, stick with etch for at least its first couple of

most probably suffer from a little breakage here and there since a lot
of changes will be pulled in at the same time. If you haven't
experienced this before, lean back and learn from other people's cries
for help on this list. :)

It sounds like a good idea not to upgrade for a while and wait to see
the feedback of other people first.

But I once heard that things in the "Testing" distribution always change
gradually. And the big gap between stable and testing will cause the
upgrade not so easy after some time of the release of stable. Is that true?
