So? Wasn't you favorite Testing branch intended to be a place for
"working versions"? Since Testing seems to mutate to another outdated,
deadlocked package set, I understand the wish to make Sid the distro for
everydays work - but it is not how the things should be.

And is that the reason for making autobuild-trials on other arches a
real pain for maintainers with packages in experimental? I see no good
reason for not running autobuilders on experimental.
