You keep saying that, but there's _nothing_ in the wiki to imply just what
this "merging state" entails, so I simply can't question anybody's desire
to use edgy as it exists.  If it is _so_ unstable, the archive should not
be open.  The merging process should not actually be that unstable (and
from what I've seen so far, it really isn't - yes I ran into a showstopper
libc6 problem, but it didn't cripple the system, just a couple of important
apps).

Agreed.

Yes it's been discussed - but there's a whole line of people lining up
behind Alexander telling us to keep our edgy posts off this list.  They
certainly give the impression of being angry and bitter to me.  And that's
making _me_ angry and bitter.
