What do you think about adding a new release type maybe called
"current"? Then our release structure would look like this:
-------------
| Unstable |------
------------- |
| |
| |
----------- |
| Testing | |
----------- |
| |
-------------------- |
| | |
---------- -----------
| Stable | | Current |
---------- -----------
Current would get both security and feature updates. We could
advertise this as the perfect blend of stability and up-to-date
software. Immediately after a release, Current would lag behind
Testing so it would be more stable. Conversely, during the freeze
we might be able to pull some packages from Unstable.
I am pretty new to Debian so I am sure there are a thousand
reasons why the above is a bad idea, or just too hard to
implement. But it seems like it's worth discussing. And before
anyone gives me a hard time let me say, "I am not complaining".
