OK, with debian 3.0 released, I'm wondering if I should now change my default release in my apt.conf to "stable"? At the moment it's still "testing", and I haven't noticed any changes when I apt-get upgrade.
At present the testing script isn't running, so testing *is* the same as stable. It should resume service again soon though and then things will propagate again.
If you've been running testing then you possibly want to continue doing so if it's a desktop machine. Personally I'm going to continue running it on my desktop and laptop and continue running stable on remote servers.
Congrats to the debian developers, and the users that have supported debian (bug reports, just plain using it). What a complicated project, and only 2.5 months late!
It's not late. It released when it was ready, just like we said it would. :)
(Though 2 years between stable releases strikes me as a little long...)
