I suspect the following may be a bit clearer: sid------------------------------------------- \ \ \ \ \ === etch ======== \ \ == sarge ======·····| 3.1 ****** | | woody ========···| 3.0 ***********|########### | | | | 2.2 potato ******|################| [moved of to archive.debian.org] | | | | % $ where "-" == unstable "|" == release of a new stable "=" == testing "%" == release of woody as 3.0 "*" == stable "$" == release of sarge as 3.1 "#" == oldstable "\" == branching of of a new testing release; older testing (···) slowly frozen to stability This should hopefully illustrate how sid will remain unstable, while all other distributions start as new testings branched from unstable and later move on to become stable and finally oldstable.
