We need to make sure that the *release* has no bugs. If you later
upload to unstable and a bug occures you can fix the bug in unstable as
usual. But if you have upload to unstable an later a bug in testing is
detected you run into trouble fixing this problem via unstable since
there is just a higher version.
If something remains unclear we can discuss this on the sprint.
Kind regards
Andreas.
