I ended up running a mixed testing/unstable just to pull in updated versions of programs from unstable that I wanted. However, that isn't a great situation either since now you can run into situations where you're using a configuration that few or no other people are running.
I think if there was simply a sid distribution that cached the packages for a day or two to allow for catastrophic bugs to get reported, I would have what I want. I'm fine with working around bugs in sid when the pop up. I just want a heads up from people following the absolute bleeding edge.
