When woody is released, it will become "stable". At that point there
will be a new "testing" (as yet unnamed), which will initially be
identical to woody but will quickly start to receive packages from
unstable. "sid" will remain "unstable" and always will.
If you want to run "testing" but not "unstable", you should specify
"testing" in your apt sources.list. If you currently specify "woody"
you will switch from testing to stable when woody is released, and you
will fall off the edge of the world when it is replaced by the next
release.

It's waiting for some infrastructure to let the security team do fixes
to all released architectures at once.
