When that happens, you'll refer to it as 'frozen', not 'testing' (but
still, of course, as 'woody').

As others have pointed out, testing is created by automatic scripts
that pull packages in from unstable. This makes it the least secure
flavor at the moment; new security fixes go in stable and unstabe, but
testing may not be updated for ~2 weeks. I just wanted to point out
another reason that you may not want to do what you said you wanted to
do.

If you do decide to do anything, make backups first. downgrades can be
messy.
