I have no idea what _schedule_ you're talking about.  Testing has new
stuff added/updated all the time.  It has no schedule.  When unstable
stuff has been sufficiently tested (d/l, installed and bug reports are
sufficiently low), it goes into testing.  That's been stable enough
for me for many years.

I stopped looking at schedules years ago and I'm not sure why anyone
bothers with them (for software at least).  As Linus says, when it's
ready, it's ready.  And back when I used RPM-based distros, I don't
remember any of them staying on "schedule" despite their need for a
more regular infusion of greenbacks, which Debian doesn't require.

You're nothing, if not consistent.  Whether it's singling out one
aspect of a distro you don't like (stable versus testing, unstable,
experimental, or other repositories; Gentoo and its ilk, etc.) or
political parties you disagree with (Republican or other
non-Democratic parties' extremists and their particular views) then
rabidly attacking, makes you little better than the GNU or other
religious fanatics on other lists that are plonked or otherwise
ignored.  You have a lot to contribute.  Please try to continue
without the constant stream of sarcasm, it's gotten old.

Ciao,
