"Testing" one day before bookworm release -> bookworm. On release day, bookworm -> "stable", "unstable" -> testing == trixie Trixie is copied, essentially as the kickstarter for new "unstable". "Unstable" == Forky. The pent up changes that have been waiting while the freeze has been on all come out at once, potentially. It might not be very much, but it could be a bunch of stuff, size, effects unknown. Bookworm has been frozen-ish since January ... It's as nothing to the "feels larger" shock to people who keep their Debian pinned to "stable" and suddenly get ~2.2 years worth of (possibly incompatible) changes in a day, however, and then wonder what hit them.
