I am sorry to say this, but what is ridiculous here is the inability of 
some to even understand what is being discussed.

Fresh is not testing. It has never been "testing". If you want testing, 
test betas, or release candidates. We have these for both branches, so 
let me rephrase this so to make it clear for everyone :

Fresh branch
(x.y.0, x.y.1 , etc.)
for each of these versions, we have several betas and release 
candidates.
This means that testing has happened already on betas and release 
candidates for each version of the fresh branch.

Still branch
(w.x.4, w.x.5, w.x.6)
for each of these versions, we have several betas and release 
candidates.
This means that testing has happened already on betas and release 
candidates for each version of the fresh branch.

Cor made a very good point earlier. He highlighted the importance of 
finding a proper way to clarify this, but not wasting our time in 
proposing other terms who will never be liked by everyone anyway. Let me 
encourage all those who pretend to actually have an opinion or who think 
the Illuminati are leading the LibreOffice project to focus on helping 
rather than complaining.

Thanks!

Charles.
