Re: Editing /etc/apt/sources.list breaks update

Hello Debian people! My first post here.
I have installed Debian 9.1.0 buster for i386 using the small netinst
image. Works well. I tested different desktops, too.
Isn't Debian 9.1 Stretch?
I wanted to use the testing branch also after buster goes stable.
Isn't this Spring/Summer 2019?
According to this page:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
it is possible by editing /etc/apt/sources.list.
I followed the instructions and changed "buster" to "testing" and
commented out security update lines.
Isn't Buster the same as testing for the next 2 years, give and take
a few months? So there will be no change. Have I missed
something?
It now looks like this :
deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ testing main
# deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing contrib main
Who changed stretch to buster? Why change buster to testing?
I keep reading the responses wondering why the rest are responding
the way they do. Like something obvious was overseen!
PS I still have a VHS of Juha Kankunen and his Lancia 037!
It is the first thing that flashes in my head when I hear Juha.
