Which is why I run testing. stable would be fine for servers, but I like using my home computer to the best of it's abilities.
If you're not running stable - well, security.d.o doesn't have updates for testing and unstable.
Well, surely *someone's* scrutinising the security of the new packages? And Woody was set to be frozen in May...
Yes, of course. If you look at the BTS or debian-devel, you'll find there are a number of known problems. They shouldn't be in the new stable when the current testing is released, but testing/unstable have never had the same policy of rapid security updates as stable, despite the "48 hours" claim on http://www.debian.org/security/.
