With Debian one can choose a specific [1]release (Wheezy, Jessie, Stretch,
Sid (roling release)), or old-stable (Wheezy), stable (Jessie, will
become old-stable)), testing (Stretch, will become stable), experimental
and unstable (Sid, always unstable). old-stable, stable, etc, are just
symlinks.

Linux all about choice. And Debian does not guarantee anything either.
You get to keep the pieces though.

I would like to pin my server to 'nixos-stable', just as my laptop is on
'nixos-unstable' (mostly because of wayland).
