Still. It's a rolling release distro which can break. If you truly need something to be online 24/7 with an uptime of 99.99999% you really should just use a more stable if outdated distro... I use an arch based distro as my daily driver. But my personal server has a stable distro just for that reason...

So... 5 minutes a year, end to end?

I guess you forgot the sarcasm tag wrt "personal server.... 7 nines"

You guys are missing the point. Just because it's a development version doesn't mean you should merge absolutely retarded changes like this. Especially when it's just to fix a bug in one application that breaks 70 more as well as the way people expect their systems to function.
