Is QA the thing what makes Debian so bleeding edge? *SCNR*

I haven't had any stability issues with Arch Linux, yet, neither with
Gentoo. And in these very rare cases in which something unforeseen
happens with an update it can easily be fixed by either downgrading or
waiting a few days for an update which fixes the issue. Or it can be
fixed or worked around in other ways.

So Arch Linux is absolutely stable and bleeding edge in my opinion and
can indeed be used in a production environment.

And, btw., isn't the testing done by the devs in the git tree and in
[testing] not QA?
