I've run Unstable on my desktop for decades.  It's been at least 15
years since an upgrade gave me any serious trouble.  However, I don't
use a desktop environment (unless you call FVWM a DE) and I only upgrade
when it is both safe and necessary.

I did recently have a problem with an Exim4 upgrade but I believe it was
primarily due to my customizations (I switched to Postfix as that's the
simplest way to do "wipe it all out and start over").
