Oops, well it wasn't showing up on my mirror when I wrote that.  Hence
the AFAIK.

For the record:  If one keeps "testing" in their sources.list, then it
will always be the testing that they run.  While Sarge was stable,
"testing" was Etch.  Now that Etch is stable, "testing" is Lenny, when
Lenny is stable, "testing" will be whatever comes next.

Whatever they want :)  Seriously, this list has many people who run Sid,
many more who run Lenny, and quite a few that run Etch.  Some even
continue to run Sarge or Woody.  I would hazard a guess that many people
on this list don't even run Debian, but are interested in it.

Remember, above all else, your computer is yours and you decide what you
do with it, not anyone else.  Your company's computer is another matter
and you may be forced to use operating systems that are not to your
liking/  This is an unfortunate side of reality.  However, one can
always quit.
