That's completely backwards.  First, Testing IS Sarge, and is going to be so 
for the foreseeable future.  Second, once Sarge goes stable, Testing will 
still be a good deal more stable than Unstable/Sid.  Sid is routinely broken, 
nothing is supposed to reach Testing until the problems are worked out of 
Sid.  I agree Sid works quite well.  But it's a darn sight chancier than 
Testing.
