did Sid equal Testing at the moment just before Sarge's release?

Hi!

I saw all the articles on the switch of testing to etch and release of sarge 
as stable.

I am one of many who has been running a desktop tracking sid for months.

Just before the release, how far apart were sid and testing? were the only 
things in sid = bug fixes for sarge?

This is relevant for someon who was running a sid desktop who may want to wait 
a while before tracking sid/etch because of all the many new changes.

If sid != testing at the moment of sarge release, then how could such an 
indvidual "go  back to sarge" from sid (the sid of before sarge release)?

Also , many people say it pays to track testing. But testing gets fixes slower 
than sid... (according to the debian "chose a distro' faq ...) So you can 
lose both ways :). Unless you can live dangerously....
