I've always run "unstable", I'd hate to downgrade to "testing" :)

The gap between "testing" and "unstable" is way too big. I run "testing", but I use icewm and install Firebird / Thunderbird from a Mozilla subscription disk. But most Gnome and KDE users would probably not find "testing" to be a very attractive alternative.

If Mandrake can keep the gap down to two or three months, the "official" release might be nice. If it starts lagging behind by a year or more like Debian, I expect it will wither on the vine.
