I don't agree.  The packages in stable are out of date by policy, not
coordination effort.  Testing deals with most release problems, since
it's always a snapshot of the packages that are current.  I want to
get us into testing so that maintainers share the responsibility of
making sure their packages work on our system.

Boot-disks are a different problem, but I don't know enough about that
to comment.
