I manage over 40 Debian clients in production use. All are managed with ansible. It's the easiest time in my sysadmin time ever.
My own systems are fedora and Debian unstable. Why? Because I test upcoming changes and features. And think how it would be if all 40 clients run on unstable or fedora, every day updates of 20-60 packages for nothing the user would care about.
Every time I think wtf is he doing, I remember about this theory he is destroying twitter on purpose, because it was a network with to much influence for example the arab spring.
Outflanking the rights is a bad decision, because you put their extreme positions into mainstream.
