The usual troll of "everything in Debian is volunteer work and thus best-effort" aside, what's your current characterization of testing? It's already the case that you can go and send a mail to debian-release@ that package X needs to be put into testing more quickly than the set urgency or asking for permission to upload to t-p-u to fix bugs if the upload is entangled. And apart from that it's supported on a best-effort basis already with bug fixes trickling from unstable into it and critical stuff being fixed faster. And we're back to PR again… There are various kinds of end-users and I know a certain kind which can cope with testing, of course. At least if they're wired up to at least get announcements if something's screwing up systems gravely. That channel seems to be missing, though.
