Re: Stupid Noob Question: Surfing the 'Testing' edge



Joe writes:
However, since Etch has been frozen, there are a lot of packages from Sid
that are ready for Testing, but can't go there. Lenny will catch them
when it is created, thus it is possible that the large number of packages
flowing in could cause some stability problems.

Don't forget, though, that most of these new packages will have been in Sid
for quite a while and so are less likely to still contain serious bugs.
