I'm certainly hoping that Mailman 2.2 will go into the next stable,
which is what's currently «testing».  (Sid is «unstable» and will
always be that, etch will be replaced with a new testing once it's
stable.)  Of course, this is dependent on whether Mailman 2.2 or etch
releases first.

This is wrong; exim4 was changed to be default for the current stable
release, released this summer.
