Instability.

 When Debian Unstable adopted it, I didn’t even notice the transition.
That’s how stable it was.
 What kind of instability did you run into?

Simply said "Failure pf Boot".  I had to re-install repeatedly.
About 04/2016 i found that PCLinuxOS had determined how
to deal with UEFI and went away from Mageia.
PCLinuxOS uses SysV for init. I have had relatively
few problems running it on any of my machines which
started with a Compaq laptop then used Dells laptops
and refurbished Dell laptops. Mandriva I ran on  two
other laptops, one was a bargain at the Goodwill thrift
store and by reducing he number of virtual desktops
it moved things along pretty well using a 700 MHz Copper mine.
But that is very ancient history.
