It was not my intention to lead users astray, my intention was to enlighten
people to the fact that testing is, for the most part, not going to change.
The security fixes are flowing into sid. It's not a big trick to get notice
from security-announce and grab a few pacakges from sid in the mean time.
I'll grant that it's not as easy, but doable.
Farewell,
