"What's in a name?" someone said. But in the 16th century they were
given to using all sorts of queer OSs.
The OP wanted "...to convert it to a pure Debian testing setup, to track
testing indefinitely."
This isn't something to contemplate lightly (the "indefinite" bit). It
is hard to understand what is gained with "testing" as opposed to
following a (stretch + review + testing again). Not unless CUT
(Constantly Usable Testing) has been implemented on a sound basis.
So I would agree - go with stretch.
