I'm really puzzled. 

The group which desires "more stable" releases heavily doubts the
reliability of Adams poll.

The same proponents heavily claim "broken updates", one would have to
fix one's system after *each* update, ... (see above). 

I guess: We don't have any valid statistics about it, either!

(And given my personal experiences: There must be another distro named
Fedora around, which is updatable in most cases without any issues. I'll
try to find out, where I got my Fedora from ...)
