Not true. A unstable package may be moved to testing after 2 days! From
http://www.debian.org/devel/testing :

1. It must have been in unstable for 10, 5 or 2 days, depending on the
urgency of the upload;
     2. It must be compiled and up to date on all architectures it has
        previously been compiled for in unstable;
     3. It must have fewer release-critical bugs than, or the same
        number as, the version currently in "testing" (see below for
        more information);
     4. All of its dependencies must either be satisfiable by packages
        already in "testing", or be satisfiable by the group of packages
        which are going to be installed at the same time;
     5. The operation of installing the package into "testing" must not
        break any packages currently in "testing". (See below for more
        information.)!

"The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to
build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open
source software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project
will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year,
with a public release schedule."
