Could you please explain why testing shan't be frozen to allow
for QA and an extended pre-release test process? If I understand it,
packages are automatically moved from unstable to testing based on
some static, automated rules -- and satic, automated processes do not
catch all problems (if they did, we would not need debuggers).
I still envisage the need for a frozen distribution --
something that is not a moving target, and something that can be put
through its paces
The only difference I see is that we shall not wait endlessly
for RC bugs to be resolved
