Yes, I repeatedly mentioned it was Debian testing. I chose Debian
testing because most Debian users who want a stable system with fairly
recent packages are likely to be running testing. Sure, it is not
_called_ 'stable', but you'll find it is (simplistically speaking) as
stable as another distribution running the same versions of each
package.

Did you look at the list? Debian testing was already fairly
competitive. Debian unstable is not appropriate to compare because it
really is unstable, and is likely to contain broken packages at any
time.
