  because testing has always been just testing to me, when
the images are made and sent out as official releases with
their signed packages and keys and all the rest that is when
i consider them by their code names.  that is when the 
release team actually releases it.  just because i am following
along while they are putting it together in testing or sid
doesn't mean it is done.

  sure, but those are all conversations about possibilities
they're not done until they're released.  of course this is 
my opinion but i think the Release team also feels something
about the meaning of the word "Official" and the whole process
including the key signing and verification steps...
