Hi!
In ยง3.1.9, it says:
A new testing is forked from the current unstable.
That is incorrect. The new testing is the same as the old testing; at the
time of wheezy's release, wheezy and jessie were identical, not jessie
and sid. Once cron jobs are re-enabled and migration is permitted, then
packages flow from sid to the new testing. At no time is the new testing
the same as or forked from sid. To do so would let in a pile of new RC
bugs unnecessarily.
The language around "no RC bugs" in the release process is also a little
ambitious. The release is made when there are quite a few bugs marked
either as ignored for the release (they exist but we are ignoring them;
approx 100 [0]) and also some that are deferred for a point release
(approx 80 [0]).
