Testing is where each release is taken from. At certain points in the release cycle, packages are automatically removed from testing when they have Release Critical bugs. If the maintainer is not able to fix the bugs in time (it must transition from unstable to testing again), it is possible that the release will happen without the package. Cheers, Ross
