By that sounds like you're saying upgradeing from stable to new stable is
about as stupid as one can be as well. There's no problems upgrading libc6
as long as you restart the services that are effected. I've done this on
test machines to see how it works and I'll now do this on production
machines and have successfully w/o problems.

The stable is always stale if you've worked with debian much. It's stale by
the time it comes out. I noticed recently that sid now has 4.20 so it's no
longer 'experiemental'.

I see nothing misleading about this. If I'd had problems doing this I
wouldn't have even suggested it. Would you have rather suggested they go
download everything they need and recompile? This is simply easier to do
and isn't problem causing.
