They are only automatic as far as the Release Team wants them to be as
explained earlier...
I'm not writing about "automatic" transition from unstable to testing
through scripts. It was about the Release file. It's pretty much the
key of that proposal and why I've suggested remove experimental,
because in a scenario that we switch unstable to not automatic,
experimental will be redundant.

This might be better solved by CUT IMHO.
Probably, but the "remove experimental" and CUT proposals could be
implemented at the same time.

As a Release Team we are thinking about solutions to improve testing migration
like using versioning instead of less RC bugs, better udeb handling, automate
easy hinting, ease library transitions etc. which would IMHO help CUT.
Could you please write more about the versioning instead of less RC bugs idea?
thanks,
