While your reasoning is sound, I think the word "unstable" carries a negative connotation that isn't really warranted for most of the testing tree: that something is not stable does not imply that it is unstable, it only implies that whether it is stable isn't really known. So I, too, would prefer if we used some other term to describe the not-stable tree/keyword. Cheers, Dirkjan
