No not joking.  The fact I mentioned "stability" and "robustness" should 
give a clue I was talking about the Stable branch rather than the Testing 
or Unstable branch :)

It does seem that while I interpret the term "Debian" to refer to "Debian 
Stable" a lot of others do not, so I'll certainly be qualifying this from 
now on.
