Are you intimating that the current stable Debian release (Jessie) contains
~4.5 times the number of release-critical bugs of stretch!?

I have submitted that question to the Udoo support team, and am awaiting a
response. 

Also, there is a post here
http://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/debian-jessie-linux-os-installation.6819/#post-26261
that indicates that "Debian Stretch
(debian-stretch-DI-rc3-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso from
[https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/stretch_di_rc3/amd64/iso-cd/]) is
working much better for me than Jessie..."
