I heard that too.

I have never heard a version number for any one of unstable (Sid) or testing
(Woody).
Technically from a Debian point of view testing is not stable either, as
its name implies.
I do not think Debian distributions recieve numbers until they become stable
and gets to be released as the "official" Debian.

A bit off topic:
Sid is unstable and will always be.
But will Woody always be testing? Or will Woody become stable and will some
new name be assigned to the next testing?
