Certainly I can turn off KDE; cripples KDevelop which is needed, but can be
done easily. As to downgrading, I've read answers to several questions saying
that can't be done with apt. Unless those answers were wrong, no, I don't
know how to - short of a reload.
I'll take this for one vote that testing is actually a better choice than
unstable.
