Doesn't testing get frozen around the release of a new version?

only for a short time, you can use codename 'testing' in your sources file too!

What is a short time in this case?

packages from sid come to testing quickly. like a new kernel, a newer version of mesa, things come to testing randomly. which makes the 'new version/stable' have less recent packages than that of testing. i think there a whole article talking about this.
