"Testing" one day before bookworm release -> bookworm.
On release day, bookworm -> "stable", "unstable" -> testing == trixie
Trixie is copied, essentially as the kickstarter for new "unstable".
"Unstable" == Forky.
The pent up changes that have been waiting while the freeze has been on
all come out at once, potentially.
It might not be very much, but it could be a bunch of stuff, size, effects
unknown. Bookworm has been frozen-ish since January ...
It's as nothing to the "feels larger" shock to people who keep their
Debian pinned to "stable" and suddenly get ~2.2 years worth of (possibly
incompatible) changes in a day, however, and then wonder what hit them.
