Disagreed.

Given different procedures for updating Sid and Security sites, one or
the other may be more current.

I keep my Sid sources.list pointing at stable, unstable, and security.
I pull the most recent package(s) from whichever source is most up to
date.  There is no conflict, and a (theoretical) slight advantage.
