Ok, I misunderstood what you meant. Making unstable not automatic would mean
less testing of individual versions in unstable AFAICS which is a bad thing IMHO.
I disagree, that's what we've with experimental today mainly due to
the fact that there's just a few packages there. Consider everybody
uploading every package for unstable instead.

I'm not at all sure that it means we won't have less people using unstable,
even more every version that is uploaded to unstable...
I believe that people will use testing as base for contribute and
develop using lots of packages from unstable, differently from what
we've with experimental as outlined above.
