[testing] is for experienced users who can deal with broken systems, not for the 'absolute latest' package versions. It may break critical/[core] packages, as such users are strongly encouraged to subscribe to [arch-dev-public] and watch the [testing] sub-forum.
I believe we all agree on that.

A user basically is using [testing] without fulfilling the above requirements. Should the user be advised not to use [testing] or is this counter-productive to the purpose of [testing]?
People using [testing] should read arch-dev-public, just as all Arch users should read the news announcements. It is a waste of time for everyone when people ask questions that have already been answered there. -- Gaetan
