Actually, the Debian transition to glibc was amazingly smooth! After hearing all the screaming coming from the RH camp, I was downright scared when I did the update, but amazingly, everything just worked. Granted, it took them a lot longer to engineer a solid, safe transition, so us Debian users were among the last to make the transition, but that was a case where I was more than happy to wait!

Not surprising. The trail blazing distros can't expect to always have a smooth transition. Conservative distros have a higher success rate in doing that and they owe some of that credit to the former although incrementally solid improvements and especially long term maintenance is a difficult feat to pull off and that requires credit by itself as well.
