Why is it that when Mozilla-Firebird 0.70 (now in testing) came out 0.61 was taken away from stable? I don't find this a good behaviour.

Firebird 0.7 is the latest stable release of a "Technology Preview", and as such all pre-1.x releases will be such! 0.7 contains a lot a bug-fixes that were arrived upon following on from the release of 0.61, so, in theory it should be more stable than earlier versions

Since 0.61 was always crashing and 0.70 is much more stable, I find this to be good behaviour.

Well, that's not exactly what I was conserned about. I got 0.61 from the stable release, and now it disappeared. Is it beacuse of the bug fixes? Stange that Debian is keeping that version in testing, although it doen't work on SPARC.
Can someone explain how's the stable/testing/unstable policy?

Unless I have missed something, it's purely based on packager's, reviewers' and users' opinions on how stable the software is actually. You're always welcome to voice your opinion.

Debian moves much slower at everything, in case you never noticed.

Yes, that's what I hate about it, and why I have RH at home! :-)
