It's not really the same thing though. Packages in testing get migrated 2-10 days unless there's a serious bug report and then they get delayed indefinitely.

It's not really the same thing though. Packages in testing get migrated 2-10 days unless there's a serious bug report and then they get delayed indefinitely. Not all bug reports are going to affect me. I've run testing before and packages would get delayed on some bug that didn't affect me at all. I ended up running a mixed testing/unstable just to pull in updated versions of programs from unstable that I wanted. However, that isn't a great situation either since now you can run into situations where you're using a configuration that few or no other people are running. I think if there was simply a sid distribution that cached the packages for a day or two to allow for catastrophic bugs to get reported, I would have what I want. I'm fine with working around bugs in sid when the pop up. I just want a heads up from people following the absolute bleeding edge.
