People that want stability had better use the release code names, otherwise
they will suddenly be dragged into the future every few years and
have little control over it.
People who want frequent releases had better specify the release
status name (testing) or every few years their system will gradually
start going out of date.
People who break toys can use either. Aren't "sid" and "unstable"
really interchangable?
