Isn't Debian 9.1 Stretch?

Isn't this Spring/Summer 2019?

Isn't Buster the same as testing for the next 2 years, give and take
a few months?  So there will be no change.  Have I missed
something?

Who changed stretch to buster?  Why change buster to testing?
I keep reading the responses wondering why the rest are responding
the way they do.  Like something obvious was overseen!

PS  I still have a VHS of Juha Kankunen and his Lancia 037!
It is the first thing that flashes in my head when I hear Juha.
