What is sid for?
I guess by that logic, the big X11 changes should have been in
such a parallel debian, and the libc5->libc6 likewise?
Which types of big changes should be in your proposed

distribution?
Perhaps we could call that, oh I dunno, Debian experimental?

and should be separate to sid and testing.
