No, it's common to track several distributions, in particular for
security reasons: for Debian/unstable users, security.debian.org
stable/updates is important because some security fixes are only
available there (in particular shortly after a new release: for
packages whose versions are such that unstable == stable, unstable
doesn't always get security fixes, mainly for not actively
developed software). And one may want to be able to downgrade to
testing (or stable) when a new package is broken, or install a
package that has (temporarily or not) been removed.

Debian/stable users may want to add oldstable because they still
use old applications that are no longer available in the new stable
(they will eventually replace them by new applications, but this is
not immediate).
