I think woody has been released (more-or-less) now.  On Friday, AJ
posted a noticed (on -devel-announce) outlining the changes to the
build infrastructure, and it sounded like everything was in place.
After that when I updated, apt grabbed a packages file (from testing)
and upgraded several packages.  That leads me to believe that woody is
now stable, though I didn't see any mention of it on www.debian.org
and the ftp repository didn't show it as stable.  I expect to see a
release announcement any time now.

In any case, I would choose to put "stable" instead of "woody" on the
security line in my sources.list so that I don't need to change it for
each new stable release.
