For this reason, we would need a new distribution between testing and
stable, in which we would need the new release-candidate section and
look for conflicts/problems for some weeks. Remember - all packages
should be backwards comnpatible, so if something breaks, it is a general
quality problem and should be fixed anyhow.

No. Many bugs are fixed silently by upstream, and do not appear in the
BTS. Too long testing/freeze periods force _fixed_ parts of distribution
to stay away from the Stable tree, means: are not used by people that
need those fixes.

Keep dreaming. We need a real unstable tree to test new stuff. You
cannot cook on small flame for long time.
