I just noticed that e.g. transmission-daemon is beta (4.1.0 beta 2) software in the official repo of stable (trixie). I select 400 MB of files in that application and it proceeds to download all 13 GB... Lovely.
I didn't expect to become a beta tester unknowingly just by using the default repo (or have I made a mistake somewhere?) I thought beta versions were explicitly experimented with and opted into by using e.g. testing, unstable, or experimental. Should I expect beta software in the stable repos going forward, or how does this work?
