Yep. In fact, if you look on your favourite Debian mirror, you will see
that the files "stable" and "unstable" are actually links to "slink" and
"potato", and the links will be redirected when potato becomes stable.
Does anyone know what the next revision after potato will be? ISTR they
announced the name "potato" as they announced the freezing of slink.
