What does "freeze" mean to user of testing distribution? Does it mean that packages will not be moved from unstable to testing? If so what is usual time of freeze? When can I read little more about what freeze mean -- I did not find any good explanation what changes in this life cycle.

Now I understand. For how long testing is frozen usually?

Does unstable behave as usuall(rolling-release) when testing is frozen because I am thinking of switching to unstable?

Unstable slows to a crawl because most energy is put into squashing bugs in testing.
