getting rid of "testing"



Hi,

what do people think about getting rid of current suite names ("stable",
"testing", "unstable") for most purposes?  We already recommend using
codenames instead as those don't change their meaning when a new release
happens.

Related to that I would like to be able to write something like

  deb http://deb.debian.org/debian debian11 main
  deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security debian11-security main

in sources.list as codenames confuse people.

Ubuntu already has no suite names, only codenames, but having to map
"Ubuntu 18.04" to "bionic" instead of just writing the version in
sources.list is annoying (I always have to look up the codename to be
sure as I don't use Ubuntu that much).
