Umh... I know this will sound quite boring to you - But I (and I guess, many of the Debian people) do not like the idea of presenting testing/unstable snapshots as something ready for the end-user to install. Hey, if they want unstable software, why not try Ubuntu?</joke> I understand you have your own motivations, and I know our testing is more workable and more stable than many official distributions... But anyway, Debian releases _are_ stable, and presenting Debiwhatever as a testing snapshot won't do much good to Debian's reputation - known for being anal about stability.
