After a new release, a new testing will be forked from the then stable
version. However after that, new packages will trickle from Unstable into
testing. The breakiness that people are referring to is the breakiness of the
testing distribution.
What they were saying is, if you keep etch in your sources.list and if a new
release is made, then you will be tracking stable after the relase...
