Using Buster was my original idea but it's not ready in ways important 
to me. I had been looking for Python3.7 in backports. What snags might I 
hit attempting to use a testing package in stable? I'm using an isolated 
system so I can take some risks.

I've seen the term "docker". Looks about time to see just what it is. I 
see a reading assignment in my near future. It may solve some unrelated 
problems.
