There are "users" on Jessie where Jessie has 4 times the open bug reports than testing. For a second month under freeze not much development can take place in unstable, as it is really tomorrow's testing. All Stretch seems to be is Jessie with linux4 solving 75% of its bugs, meanwhile the current old-stable will no longer be supported. Meamwhile, there are critical bugs still open on testing from last year.
