1. Developer time[1]

2. Testing gets fixed automatically when packages move from unstable to
testing; security updates generally migrate in two days or less.
 
1: There used to be a testing-security group which tried to update
security issues directly in testing. If the security of testing is
really important to you, consider becoming a DD or otherwise enable this
work to be done.

Our days are precious, but we gladly see them going
If in their place we find a thing more precious growing
A rare, exotic plant, our gardener's heart delighting
A child whom we are teaching, a booklet we are writing
