There is something not quite right about 'testing/stable' as it exists now
-- no, repeat no, criticism of hardworking developers implied -- :
might it help everyone if instead we had 'testing/desktop/server' ?
'testing' = genuinely newly unmasked & awaiting willing users to test;
'desktop' = generally reliable, but might occasionally trip you up;
'server' = believed wholly reliable for the most demanding duties.
