Testing acquires packages from unstable when certain criteria are met.
It's all automatic, except for when a freeze occurs. That is to say,
nobody oversees it. You appear to expect somebody (well, several
somebodies) to stem the tide to avoid problems. Question is; How do
they know what's going to cause problems? Answer; They don't/can't
until the problem(s) actually arise. By then it's too late to avoid
them.
What you'd like to happen is never going to happen. So it comes down to
three choices;
1) deal with it yourself
2) use stable
3) use another distro
With snapshot.debian.org 1 is easy to do, 2 may require an install and
3 _will_ require an install.
1 is probably the easiest.
