That sounds to me like that the expections were lowered,
I think it is a pity to settle for less.


The important words in the lines

are 'testing' and 'unstable'. They are code words for versions.
'testings' means "available for some while and 'unstable' means "each day
could have a newer version". ( the 'unstable' factor is the rapid change
in  next version ) In other words: 'unstable' is newer then 'testing'.

The lines should be read as "use the version from unstable"

Please try the newer software.

P.S.
The default for 'testing' is because that will be the next stable release.
