"testing" isn't what desktop users would want to use - at least not
by that name. They don't want to test things. They want current packages
that aren't too broken or have too obvious bugs. Why not call it
"current"?
Because that would be vague and misleading. If I'm asked "What's the
current Debian?" and had to answer in 2 words, I would most likely
answer "Debian 4.0". But even if users would understand that current is
in relation to upstream software, calling testing "current" would be
misleading ("Why the hell does Debian call glibc 2.3 "current"?").
