Perhaps if you say what you find confusing, I can explain. I thought my logic was very
clear.
The oldstable, stable, testing, and unstable
identifiers I can certainly
understand. However, if one only wants to use stable, I don't see any
reason to change it, except to use TDE 3.5.12 instead of 3.5.13, in which
case you'd be using 'oldstable' anyway. It is generally considered good
practice to always use stable anyway, except on a spare machine or
partition.
Also, considering that "stable" and "squeeze" currently produce the
same
exact package lists, I'm assuming there's some sort of linking going on
with their mirrors, so why not just replace "squeeze -> stable" with
"6.0
-> stable"?
I just find the whole naming thing confusing.
And I don't understand the point that you are making here. And find your
entire logic very confusing. Perhaps you just have to accept that the system in use
is liked, and
understood, by a great many people, but not by you. Full stop. They can't
please everybody all of the time.
I didn't say I didn't accept. I am just stating that I don't like it. I
certainly don't like it when people try to make like I am saying something that I am
not.
