Yes, generally that's true. But at this very moment, 'testing' is being
bugfixed to a point where it will become the new 'stable' any week/month
now. Stable-type quick security updates are already occurring. There are
still more bugs, so it's not quite as safe as the old Woody yet.
I'm running a Woody, and tweaking a Sarge to replace it at the
appropriate time. I'm seeing the same security fixes that Woody gets
also arriving on Sarge, along with the other bugfixes.
