When I upgraded from Sarge (my first Debian distro) to Etch and again from Etch to Lenny, I waited until the then current testing was "frozen" before upgrading to it from the then current stable, because I perceived (correctly I had hoped) there would be a frenzy of bug correcting between the freeze date and the stable declaration date. For both upgrades I ran into minor problems which in most -- but not all -- cases were eliminated during that period. I expect to do the same thing when Squeeze is frozen.
