> Debian starting to get second-hand packaging that goes to Ubuntu first, etc., even accidentally.

A notorious number of maintaining teams are the same for both distros and there hasn't been a problem I could think of.

> And takes some of the edge off of Ubuntu getting so much mileage out of Debian effort

And if you look on those teams' Debian QA pages you'll see that Sid isn't the upstream, this "mileage" has worked both ways for many years, for example Plasma 5 and 6 updates started in Unstable after they were deployed and ate most of the bugs in Ubuntu.

> I'll still continue to be all about Debian Stable

Which is the reason you probably don't know about the above since all of that work is to get updates into Testing.



Thank you. I used to use Testing and Unstable, and appreciate immensely the work of all the Debian contributors.
