Agreed. Unstable is recommended only for people that "know what they are
doing". Certainly not for desktop usage, or anything like that.
As for "testing", well, that one can be recommended to users that need a
very up-to-date system but who can tolerate the lack of speedy security
updates... AND who know how to deal with ocasional breakage (yes, sometimes
it happens even in testing).
