Of course.  But Debian 9 will go stable.  Debian 10 will go stable.  Etc.
Unstable will always be Sid.  But for Chris Ahlstrom, Debian 9 will always
be "Sid," presumably long after it and its successors have gone stable.
For Chris Ahlstrom, when the world is on Debian 23, somebody will say,
"Hey, you remember Debian 9?"  Little Beaver will go, "Oh yeah, Sid
was my favorite."  He's an idiot.
