It is a fairly elderly thinkpad (X61s) and I am running the mate

version has been in 'stable' for several months, having said that my
main desktop system has been running 'sid' since I set it up quite a few
years ago and I am quite happy with it, it gets a daily dose of
update/upgrade and I have rarely had a problem that wasn't fixed
within days.
However my VPS will not get upgraded until several months after stretch
is released.

That's a bit odd. I've been running stretch for a long time, on
servers, workstations and laptops. Can't remember anything like that. So starting with a full freeze in february 2017,
we could see a
release in september 2017, which would mean support until september
2020 and LTS until 2022, a whooping 6 years from now.
I upated from jessie to stretch on my laptop and it is rather
unstable at present, dumping me out to the login screen pretty
frequently when I am web browsing. It may well be more stable in
'server' mode tho'
