7 There is stable and not stable. Whether you call what is not stable
8 "unstable" or "testing" does not matter, as Gentoo does not
9 differentiate between the two. FWIW, I think that using the word testing
10 implies some sort of path to stable, which is not the case with many
11 packages. I prefer to say unstable.
