That's right. And once the release after Sarge comes out the box will be running oldstable. Stick to the release names (Woody, Sarge, ...) if you want to track a certain Debian flavor over the release cycle from testing to stable, and stick to 'stable' and 'testing' if you want to keep tracking this particular release while other named releases go by. Please note that Sid is an exception here, Sid will always be and stay unstable. Cheers, Flo
