Good day.

I got a question, Should "volatile" Debian repository be avoided from
servers running stable version of Debian for stability/security reasons?

Thank You for Your time.

I don't think so. I use that repo in my servers for updating ClamAV.

No, volatile is meant for packages that *need* frequent updates such as
spam filters or virus scanners and packages like these are placed in
volatile in order to allow system administrators to upgrade these
packages without the need to "upgrade" to testing or unstable.

Why do you think that it should be avoided? It is officially supported
by Debian and part of the stable infrastructure.

Have a nice day

In my (very humble, not backed up with much personal experience) opinion
no. The packages in volatile are usually there because the versions in
stable aren't really working anymore, so _if_ you need them there is
usually no better source than the volatile repository.

See http://www.debian.org/volatile/ for details.

No, it should be used for stability/security reasons.
