Hi, sorry for the delay and congrats for your recent DD status!

Seems to me that experimental would be a good fit for those, assuming
we don't want to release with a beta version. Unstable is for versions
intended for migration to testing and eventually a stable release.

Experimental even gets some automatic QA nowadays, at least debci (though
I don't think we have autopkgtest checks for the RT packages yet?)
and reproducible builds testing.

Thanks for your work,
