Woody is almost completely frozen, nothing is getting in aside from security fixes and bugs that make it uninstallable (like the looping base-config bug that seems to pop every day or two on this list). It was supposed to be released (become the new 'stable') on May 1, but there was some security update infrastructure problem that has held it up for the last couple of weeks. > Sid is the unstable distribution, and always is.

Ummmm, I don't think this is quite correct; at the moment woody is released, stable and testing will exactly the same. Packages will immediately star trickling in from sid again, using the same rules that were used for woody. btw, Sarge seems to be the de facto release name for woody+1; aj made some comment about it, and everybody assumed it was decided, so it looks like it won by popularity. -rob
