No, it won't. Stable is called stable for a reason. Testing gets
updates from Unstable after changes have been in Unstable for a set
number of days. If you are using Testing and one of those changes
breaks something, it is possible it will take a few days to get it
fixed. Also, updates to Testing can be removed if found to break
things.
