Stupid Noob Question: Surfing the 'Testing' edge

[Michael S. Peek]

Hi Debian gurus,

I jumped aboard the Debian bandwagon mid-Sarge, and so that's the 
version of Debian that our machines are currently running.  As Etch 
nears it's completion I've been preparing for the upgrade from Sarge to 
Etch.  Since I'm still pretty new to Debian, I'm a little iffy when it 
comes to understanding parts of the the Sarge=stable, Etch=testing, 
Sid=unstable implementation behind Debian development.  Specifically, 
I've seen several warnings now about making sure to change "testing" to 
"etch" in /etc/apt/sources.lst once Etch goes stable.  (For testing 
purposes I've just always left it "etch".)  But what if what I want is 
to keep our machines at "testing"?  It seems to have the latest and 
grooviest versions of stuff. So how badly would I be shooting myself in 
the foot if I changed "etch" to "testing" in /etc/apt/sources.lst and 
just left it that way?

Michael
