How can they? They are never released, and unstable receives new software, sometimes new software *versions*, minute by minute. I don't know how much new code unstable gets per day, but my workstation installation typically downloads something of the order of 50MB, usually dozens of packages. Testing is a bit more stable, but outside the freeze, basically follows unstable with about ten days' delay for a given package. In that context, what can 'release number' mean? It can only make sense for stable. -- Joe
