I seem to recall seeing recently (on debian-devel perhaps? I can't find a reference) that they're already putting together the infrastructure for security to support sarge before it gets shifted from testing to stable...

ah... here it is...
The bad news is that we still do not have an ETA for the testing-security autobuilders to be functional. This continues to be the major blocker for proceeding with the freeze; we would /like/ to have security support in place for sarge before encouraging widespread upgrade woody->sarge upgrade testing, but we /need/ to have it in place before releasing, so it would be unwise to try to freeze the rest of the archive without any confirmed schedule for the last stages of the release.
hmmm... and that message is over a month old... perhaps not so recent after all...
