fix it.
This is an unfair and inaccurate summary. The policy question of "should
testing and unstable be differentiated by os-release" isn't
straightforward, and there isn't consensus that the answer should be
"yes", as you would like it to be.
Debian's current (and long-standing) answer to that question is "no",
and my view is that you have not advanced a sufficiently compelling case
that this answer should be changed.
