About testing
*[...] That means that things should not break as badly as in unstable or
experimental distributions, because packages are allowed to enter this
distribution only after a certain period of time has passed, and when they
don't have any release-critical bugs filed against them*.

Experimental has ardour2 on it sometimes? I really don't think so :-)

all'istinto di ribellione, alla rivolta non isterilita in progetti, alla
protesta violenta e viscerale.*
