+1 , you need to be very active if you are running unstable , be on a
watch for what major thing is coming next and be ready for that , else
you will end up with a broken machine.
Having said that unstable is very good for all the latest stuff , you
could also add experimental for the extra punch ;)
Also another point is your drivers , if you have "proper" open source
drivers for your hardware then only go for unstable , else you will
be crying for graphics or wireless to work which would have been
working yesterday but an upgrade might have broken it.
Disclaimer: I am happily on debian wheezy the stable version and I
resent "systemd and its mess" , waiting for wayland to get stabilised
and hope for "uselessd" to come forward and kick systemd out of
GNU/Linux world .
Guess my life will be running on wheezy backports for quite some time to come :(
