Testing And Unstable • 528 packages held back. Cant build isos for testing. Not sure what to do.

Hi Hi
This post is more or less asking for advice. I create the SbK spins, that follow testing, that I release once a month. At present there are 528 packages being held back in testing. A few packages I might be able to fix, 528 is unlikely. Thats just for one of the 4 desktops I build, I havent checked 3 of them. Testing iso's wont build, getting a cron config error, likely because one of its dependencies is held back, but the logs dont give much info.
I can build unstable iso's. But releasing unstable iso's, that follow unstable, is something I am unsure of because of nature of unstable in the long term. Sid breaks things.
It is possible to build unstable iso's that would follow testing after building. But again I am not sure other than a long wait for updates what problems that could create long term.
The last option is to wait. But I have already been waiting 4 days. The window for me to get out a monthly release is going to close in a few days.

Any advice on what I should do, or the pitfalls of the options is appreciated

Jim
