That would be a big mistake were you to do that now, but it's concealed by your mixing these different categories again. Looked at this way: wheezy - jessie - stretch or this way: oldstable - stable - testing you can now see that you be trying to dist-upgrade by two steps. If you do that, you're on your own: the Release Notes won't help you a lot if you get into trouble. Your jessie to testing change is one step, but be aware of the fact that you're also changing your strategy, as explained previously, from a static distribution to a moving one. Cheers, David.
