Yes. There is no problem with that whatsoever. Going from X-current to (X+1)-stable is supported in exactly the same way as going from X-stable to (X+1)-stable. Equivalently, you can consider (X+1)-release as the latest version of X-current that will be made available. >> downgrading is not supported. Ville, please refrain from spreading wrong information. The meaning of "downgrading" is going from X-current to X-stable or from X-anything to Y-anything with X > Y. That's not what Paco was talking about. >> Anyway, if it's barely touched, why not to just spin a fresh install? A fresh install is always an option, but there is no need for it in this case.
