Eliminating upgrade confusion
The enormous confusion arising from the release of sarge seems
to have arisen from the use of the words "stable" and "testing".
Somebody who was running stable didn't want woody to be replaced
by sarge without his being asked. Somebody running testing didn't
want to move from sarge to etch automatically. (Sid seems to be
the only stable one.)
Wouldn't things work more smoothly if "stable" and "testing" were
not allowed in /etc/apt/sources.list or anywhere else except as
purely informative descriptions?
