Too long for my taste. People aren't going to bother typing something that long in IRC. I'd say we want pithy but clear. How about: stable ---> lowrisk testing --> current unstable -> earlyaccess
Greg's is more pithy, but Pim's is more clear. stable ---> current testing --> next_version unstable -> in_development or stable ---> current testing --> beta unstable -> alpha or stable ---> no_pain testing --> pinprick unstable -> broken_finger_or_three or stable ---> lowrisk testing --> somerisk unstable -> morerisk or stable ---> lowrisk testing --> someriskunstable -> morerisk_but_better_than_any_other_distro_so_use_this_for_desktop_workstations
None of which I particularly like, but I had fun doing it . . . . -- Kent
