if you are talking about debian devlopers then I would gree with your breakdown, but elsewhere running anything other then stable is a sure way to risk your job.

Running unstable has never caused me any problems at work. Managers only know that I run "that gnu thing", and the local techs have no issues with it. Most debian users I know run unstable, except for sysops who use a testing/stable mix depending on how important the box is.

Ah well, that's just my experience. I don't know of any respectable data to back up either side.
