 Have the regressions been continuous? Or just during the initial change in
process? I didn't notice any stability changes. The version numbers have
nothing to do with the talk.

Here is where they show their workflow (have to go back for where they
start talking about workflow)

It looks like the structure Debian uses

ash => experimental
inbound => unstable
central => testing
aurora => testing
beta => stable
release => stable

The arrows suggest that changes are allows made to the stablest development
branch and push back from there, so no cherry-picking.
