I've been using 1.12.0-r1 since 060604 without any problems ... (smile)

I suspect most users wb happy to see packages stabilised a bit sooner,
even if they're only 95 % reliable (another smile).

Are you implying that there are bugs with baselayout-1.12.1 that stop the
machine booting?
If so, please give me some bug numbers to look at.

There is something not quite right about 'testing/stable' as it exists now
-- no, repeat no, criticism of hardworking developers implied -- :
might it help everyone if instead we had 'testing/desktop/server' ?
'testing' = genuinely newly unmasked & awaiting willing users to test;
'desktop' = generally reliable, but might occasionally trip you up;
'server' = believed wholly reliable for the most demanding duties.
