If "testing (currently sarge) shouldn't actually be run by anyone", how
can we honestly tell our users to upgrade to sarge when sarge becomes
the new stable?
If we get to the point of discouraging someone to use testing, the idea
of "testing as a distribution which is in an always releseable state"
is fundamentally flawed.
