The introduction of testing has had positive and negative effects. While it is generally a good thing that packages are tested for some time and required to be consistent with respect to other packages to even be considered for a release, it has also led to a situation where releases are mostly ignored by some maintainers, who just continue to upload new packages and live with the consequence that some snapshot goes into stable. I'm not sure whether explicitly telling people that it is okay to upload new versions to unstable while a release is being prepared is a good thing in that context.
