Yes. > If that's the case, calling the distributions unstable/testing/frozen/stable > might make everyone less confused :-) Might be, except that I don't want to keep the name "testing" due to its connotation that doesn't reflect well the goal of something that's constantly usable. But IMO the best way to not confuse people might be to stop using too many aliases and use only codenames for distributions that are not permanent.
