I guess I made my point, but wrongly.
CUT should be NEWER versions of things in Testing, perhaps everything
the same as Sid, but completely working all the time and every time.
So, CUT would be a "cutoff line" for Sid's brokeness from time to time,
which I guess would actually make it not CUT, but CUS (Sid not stable).
HA, I made a pun: Debian CUS
But, it would be a more like, Continuously Installable and Usable Sid. A
staging point for Testing. Not Testing, which would be a snapshot of
CUS, where everything gets cleaned up and finalized for stable.
Sort of like most GREAT development environments I've been a part of:
Sandbox ->
Development ->
Testing ->
Quality Assurance ->
Production
Where currently in Debian:
Sandbox == The developers workstation
Development == Currently Sid
Testing == would be CUS
Quality Assurance == currently Testing
Production == Currently Stable
Of course experimental would still be a branch, with changes being
merged back into Dev, but Dev (Sid) wouldn't have to freeze. Of course,
you would still have "Sandbox" for the developers to work
But of course, this all is a moot discussion, Debian won't change. Then
again, maybe it might.
