It's not significantly more radical than stable to testing. I don't
think there's much benefit in trying to go from stable to unstable via
testing, especially considering that there are things broken in testing
that work in unstable for one reason or another (e.g. apt-listchanges).
The concern I'd have would be more whether a self-confessed Joe Average
should use testing or unstable at all. :)
