It seems we might actually agree here.
Debian unstable is for code that is *expected* to be stable in itself,
without it actually being tested as such (that testing process is what
Debian unstable and Debian testing in combination are providing.

I agree. I did not mean to say that anyone shoul be able to rely on
Debian *as* *a* *system* to be stable, only that we developers shouldn't
throw known regressions at it.

And not half-crap either. We shouldn't upload known regressions from
earlier releases.
Uploads to unstable should generally be treated as targeted next stable
release of Debian.
