Hi,
I like to follow "testing", which I do for quite some time, but then I can't
remember what is the right thing to do when there is a freeze, as it is the
case now:
https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html
On the one hand I really want to give all those packages a try (now), on the
other hand I'm yet a wee bit reluctant to shift to sid... (I remember I had
troubles, in the past, after doing so, and sticking to it for a period of
time)
When Strech is the new stable, will sid be the new testing?
Should I go for a temporary shift?
