If wait the current testing become stable and the current stable become 
old-stable. It will take very longer and the serious exploit wont be 
fix, if I take your sentence. It not what I understand and what I expect 
from Debian release since it recommend stable release for production.

The CVE is major bug and need security fix if you read my sentence 
previous.

It mentioned here[1] "At any given time, there is one stable release of 
Debian, which has the support of the Debian security team. When a new 
stable version is released, the security team will usually cover the 
previous version for a year or so, while they also cover the new/current 
version. Only stable is recommended for production use."

If I understand, It mean Buster (the current stable release) has the 
support of Debian security team and previous version (which mean stretch 
release), here. I expecting the fix also should be apply on stable. 
Please correct me if I read it wrong.
