Light for some of us; it encourages experimentation and
learning, perhaps preparation.

I'm converting one of my servers to Debian, and keeping
track of the difficulties.  Mostly, cleaning up after 
decades of accumulated bad habits and cruft; "apt"
rather than "yum" hasn't been a big deal.  Yet.

That will keep me busy until the Big Bosses at CERN and
Fermilabs tell the underlings which way to jump.  If the
jump is off a cliff, I may have a parachute ready.  If
the jump is to Production Ready Rocky, at least I've found
some uneeded-transition-inspired improvements.
