It might be a good idea, and it may not.  But the fact is that I have 5 
machines here still running wheezy and one jessie, which wheezy is now 
officially EOL even for security stuff. Until the lcnc crew have made up 
a jessie or stretch installer, So the likelyhood of my playing with this 
is quite low.

The jessie install is quite stable, but I have a rock64 running stretch 
that while its 20x faster than a pi, has problems with the login screen 
that in 6+ months, has not been fixed, so there is no way I could 
honestly say stretch is stable. Reboots after an update are a try this 
and see if it works, then try that, each one taking a full 10 second 
powerdown to get it to even try to reboot.

Until you finally get the ducks in order and a successful login can be 
done. That same rock64 runs jessie perfectly from power restoration to 
the next power failure. That I'd call stable.
