So let's turn to _the_ source: http://www.debian.de/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives#s-testing and http://www.debian.de/releases/This does not contradict what I meant, only what I said :) Sorry, sloppy use of terminology.

[...] The info about testing on the linked sites is the theory and how it should be. It's not how it is. And the fact that there are no quick security fixes for testing coupled with the fact that security-related updates in unstable may need forever to trickle down to testing is a serious drawback
But with debian-unstable the chance of 'getting the workstation hosed' during and 'apt-get upgrade' is greater than with debian-testing, isn't it?
And from what you said, the chance of 'getting the workstation hosed' by hackers due to missing security-fixes is greater with debian-testing.
