Sleeper OS "Vicky"
The Sleeper OS development version is called “Vicky”. This stands for “Version In Continuous Kernel Yielding” and is also known as “unstable”. Most new development work for Sleeper OS goes into this version. “Vicky” will never be officially released. Instead, its packages move into the testing phase and eventually into a stable release.
Keep in mind that “unstable” doesn't get security updates quickly, as these aren't handled by the security team.
“Vicky” changes a lot and has many updates to its libraries. This can make it very “unstable” and might cause problems like missing libraries or unfulfilled dependencies. Use it at your own risk!

Who is "Vicky" in "The Fairly OddParents"?
Like all Sleeper OS versions since V3, “Vicky” is named after a character from *The Fairly OddParents*. Vicky is the mean babysitter who makes Timmy Turner's life difficult. While it can also mean “Version In Continuous Kernel Yielding”, “Vicky” will always stay unstable and won’t become a stable release.
