Here's the obligatory warning: unstable is called unstable for a reason.
If you can deal with things possibly breaking, go ahead and use it (and
file bug reports!). If you can't handle things possibly breaking, stay
with slink.

As an example, did you read the threads on su failing in potato? That's
just a small example of possible breakage...

In particular, you can't really upgrade only the libc6 package to
unstable, you have to upgrade a good number of your other packages as
well.
