I believe the idea was this:
make sid and sid will always be sid (never freeze never releace)
Then put all the "immature" dists in sid, then when they are
ready for releace move them into slink (or if they are not
ready in time for slink...whatever the unstable is freezing when
they are ready)
This way they will be unaffected by freeze and noone will be confused as
to what has been releaced
