just a note, as user: The current system is fine but: - priority from unstable should less than testing or stable ( as i think - not for sure - happens nowadays). On experimental has less priority. - There are no guaranties that testing is always working and stable. - there are no guaranties that testing is secure (please security team, can you clarify this?) - There are no public, announced, snapshots from testing (so people can download and install). - Testing simply moves too fast and the automatically passage process between unstble and testing *DOES* break testing. For one example, package "foo" requires package "bar<=0.3" but package "bar 0.4" automatically passes to testing. Package conflicts, etc, etc. (i used etch when it was testing since almost sarge's release). - Smooth passages are not always smooth (who had a working xorg after the upgrade for 7, please raise their hands) - kernel modules simply die, when the kernel is upgraded, but the modules aren't ( people using non-free nvidia modules, raise their hands; people using wifi modules raise their hands) ... ... So ... automatically pass to testing ... is bad. So ... more package tests are need (such as test reverse depends) Then, announce snapshots and that testing is (+/-) STABLE, USABLE and SECURE, presenting users with a clear message in debian's site. best regards Luis Matos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
