You would no longer get any point release updates, which while only
occurring every few months, often involve a lot of minor security
updates.

You would no longer get any updates at all, security or otherwise,
since testing security updates no longer done via uploads to
testing-security. They are done via uploads to unstable that
eventually transition.
