Hmm...
If that is true then perhaps it would be a good idea
to update some part of the following to be more accurate, correct, or informative.
http://lists.debian.org/devel.html
"This is an index of mailing list archives for the following category: Developers"
debian-testing: Testing Debian

You mentioned 1.3. But I'm unclear on this:
What is debian-testing's purpose today?

I'm not interested in coopting this list.
I'm interested in getting a list available for discussion of the issues of
_using_ the software in the system currently known as Woody/testing
(and perhaps also including the software in Sid/unstable
(Which might mean the name for the list should be something like:
debian-Woody/Sid-user or
debian-testing/unstable-user
Or, perhaps there should be _another_ new list devoted just to discussing
_using_ the software that is in Sid/unstable.
But, perhaps a single list for discussing using
Woody/Sid testing/unstable is better/sufficient? ).
