Why mailing-list? And pepole who aren't subscrived it how can they do? I think the official page is the best way to say something.
I've one question, Testing what's its goal? Because minors updates go to current, so, majors updates go to Testing, but what's a minor and major update? If it's based on the number like php 5.0 to 5.1 but kde 3.5 was in Testing and kde 3.4 to 3.5 it's a minor update in this conception. It isn't clean for me to main goal of Testing.
