Many packages missing from testing



Hi!

Now for about two weeks there have been many packages out of testing. I'm must wondering what's the point? Those missing packages prevent me from upgrading because there are many among those which I desperatily need and I don't want to start hacking apt. Wouldn't it be better to have an unstable version of packages in testing than no version at all!

Okay, you are pros, I'm just a newbie and there must be a good reason for this, this situation is just irritating. Maybe you could consider having four versions
of debian in transition phase, like: stable, testing, testing-new, unstable. And when 99.5% packages would have entered testing-new it could replace testing. Just an idea, maybe it would just make things too complicated for developers and maintainers.
