Hm, that's not quite the right way round - "testing" is the step in between 
"stable" and "unstable".

So the sequence is:

 - unstable - bleeding edge, development

 - testing - not officially stable, but should be good enough if you know what 
you're doing

 - stable - thoroughly tested, stable, starting to get out of date :)
