While your reasoning is sound, I think the word "unstable" carries a |
| 10 |
negative connotation that isn't really warranted for most of the |
| 11 |
testing tree: that something is not stable does not imply that it is |
| 12 |
unstable, it only implies that whether it is stable isn't really |
| 13 |
known. So I, too, would prefer if we used some other term to describe |
| 14 |
the not-stable tree/keyword. |
