When I upgraded from Sarge (my first Debian distro) to Etch and again
from Etch to Lenny, I waited until the then current testing was "frozen"
before upgrading to it from the then current stable, because I perceived
(correctly I had hoped) there would be a frenzy of bug correcting
between the freeze date and the stable declaration date. For both
upgrades I ran into minor problems which in most -- but not all -- cases
were eliminated during that period. I expect to do the same thing when
Squeeze is frozen.
