I never had breakage via updates with LMDE so once I had it set up right it always seemed to be fine. Though due to the release cycle big things can happen over the course of a "regular" update so one day my default desktop just changed to Gnome Shell which could be a bit unnerving for a casual user.
For me to use that's fine - and in any case I frequently update to the pre-release *buntu versions and ride the wave of changes.
However, this is supposed to be an opportunity to show non-Linux users (a) how easy it is to use, (b) how fast/secure it is, and (c) how reliable it is. If I get this wrong all I'll do is send them to Windows 8, which - no matter how bad Windows 8 is - "at least it's better than that Linux rubbish Mark tried to force onto me".
