I would suggest that you remain on bookworm until bookworm is released as

OK. But how is testing one day before the release of bookworm significantly
different from trixie a day afterwards?


"Testing" one day before bookworm release -> bookworm.

On release day, bookworm -> "stable", "unstable" -> testing == trixie
Trixie is copied, essentially as the kickstarter for new "unstable".
"Unstable" == Forky.

The pent up changes that have been waiting while the freeze has been on
all come out at once, potentially.

It might not be very much, but it could be a bunch of stuff, size, effects
unknown. Bookworm has been frozen-ish since January ...

Yet if the OP intends to stay with testing, switching now would be fine. Or do you seriously believe moving from bookworm (old testing) to trixie (new testing) would have a different effect to staying with testing while it moves from bookworm to trixie? The flood of packages after the freeze ends would be the same either way.
