You can do this. If I didn't care much about the long-term
usability of the machine, I would do this.
On the other hand, if I did care about the machine's usability
-- say, if it was my primary machine -- then I would use KVM to
set up a virtual machine that I could use to run stable +
testing. Any time I wanted to destroy and re-create it, I would.
