Currently testing is becoming stable. Step back in time and testing is really 
unstable.

I was until 2 days ago, and there was only 1 package different in 
woody/testing from sid/unstable, libstdc++ 2.95.2-14 rather than libstdc++ 
2.95.2-13 (those are the older libs, 2.95.4-8 is more current and linked with 
most packages. It makes sense to me to change to woody now, it's going to be 
stable very soon.

Oh, I'll try and make my English composition better for you next time. Maybe 
you could check the spelling, I didn't do that.;-)
