There's no no-negligible development nor plans for testing+2, so knowing
the name of just testing+1 is enough. What I'm arguing for here, though, is
knowing testing+1 no later than the time of testing-1's release.
Testing-1's freeze is on the other hand the earliest boundary when this
makes sense (if we include experimental as a part of zurg's cycle). I
proposed naming zurg+1 right now because we're right on this earliest
boundary, and the release team happens to be physically in one place.
In the long run, moving the naming ceremony from freeze to release would
probably be best.
