I strongly recommend against that (except for unstable since it doesn't
matter). Upgrades between stable distributions absolutely require
manual attention, and shouldn't be performed until the admin intends to
make the full upgrade.
Sticking with 'testing' after a release is just stupid. Just stay with
the codename when it becomes stable. Later, you can upgrade again to
the next codenamed testing when it's back in shape for the next release.
