  The backports are what I use in production, for xen hosting and
 general "important" stuff.  I'd suggest using them in preference
 to unstable, especially in production use.

  For my own personal use at home all my machines run unstable and the
 current Xen packages in sid.  However there I don't care so much if things
 break for a few days/weeks at a time.

  (Like today, when "xen-utils-3.0" seems to have become uninstallable.  My
 existing instances are running,but with no "xm" command I can't
 control them or create new ones!)
