Well, it is a bug of the "we don't do it like that" kind that newbies
are more likely to encounter than old hands.  Of course, that we "don't
do it like that" might be related to those problems having defied fixes
for a number of years.

Well, there were several changes in behavior in the last months so it
actually deserves the name.  It's rare that an unstable release is
unusable.  But that has also happened for some use cases.  But if one
does not mind updating somewhat more frequently (and, in the case of a
personal emergency, paddling back), the unstable releases tend to be
more user-friendly after some time than the stable ones.
