Testing (Lenny) compatibility

Unstable (Sid) compatibility

Rating does not apply to testing and unstable :

  1. Ratings are meant to make things clear to End-users. End-users should use stable.
  2. testing and unstable are moving targets.

We might use a logo, with the word sid instead of the stars.
