Cool yeah the main problem everyone seems is someone installs debian stable get frustrated it's got old stable packages and trys to add testing Repo or a PPA from ubuntu and then brick their systems. If you have a good grasp you can mix repos.
Like my home desktop I run a mix of testing, unstable, and experimental and Pin stuff from unstable and experimental when needed. Note I would never do that going between stable and testing as the packages are too far apart depending on where we see in the release process. But since testing and unstable are normally just a fewer weeks off nothing breaks. But I treat it like I'm running on unstable like using apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges to confirm everything when I update.
