I think it _increases_ the number of people testing compared to the
number of people testing home:*.  I see contrib-unstable as a way
to increase the usefulness of Factory (much the same way as a
Factory-unstable would increase that of Factory).  But yeah, if
people do not agree that we need something like what Debian
calles the "testing" repository then there is no point in
contrib-unstable.  After all we already provide what Debian calls
"experimental" - Factory.
