Is sweet sue stable?

I understand the concern. However, I think though those are two separate discussions. There's one regarding identification, stability, etc... There's a separate one about seed etiquette. The two are not mutually exclusive, but they are independent of one another.

Since the original issue that Tash brought up was the first, I felt there's no need to drag the latter into the mix. Ultimately, it gets tricky when you start discussing both, because you can't force someone to not rename what they think is an off-type (stray, cross, or mutation). Nor can you force them to destroy the seed or not trade it. There's a recent thread discussing this issue where things got a bit heated along the same line, as discussing both seems to become eventually descended into a heated debate instead of a thoughtful discussion.

If someone had a different view on trade/saving etiquette, I would think those with a withholding view of unknown seed would actually be motivated even more to assist in a positive identification to stymie any future varietal name confusion.
