That is the main "problem" with testing: "as per now".

Testing can be fine one day and then horribly broken (dependency wise)
for weeks, as soon as a major transition starts.

People just doing a blind "apt dist-upgrade" every day without knowing
what happens, why it happens and how to fix the emerging problems will
have a very bad time using Testing, because there will be a day where an
innocent "apt dist-upgrade" removes half their packages.
