Nonono, not testing. Testing goes through epic fluctuations, things stay broken for months, etc. Seriously, I've found Sid to be far more stable than many other distributions "stable" releases. I agree that Sid is "not for newbies" for a first Linux, but it's hardly the land-mind-ridden DMZ at which folks hint. Anyone with any experience who wants to get to know their system intimately is well served by running Sid. And when Sid is dull? Arch, or maybe LFS. :^) Yes, sometimes things do break. The change from Xfree86 to Xorg was not nice, libc5 to libc6 wasn't fun, but those are punctuations in an otherwise relatively smooth narrative.
