Very true. You should keep up with development if you're going to be running [testing] and be prepared to struggle through any issues. Problems shouldn't come as a total surprise anyways.
Sure. But 'struggling though any issues" doesn't mean he has to do it without our help, no? I'm new here, but I'm not sure I agree with Gridorios sentiments exactly. David should indeed "expect issues" (and issues exactly of this kind, and worse) if he goes to [testing], but he's still invited to solicit help, and those who think he's beyond his depth, or who can make better use of their time contributing elsewhere, needn't bother themselves to respond.
Sure, but you shouldn't complain about what happens to you if you jump into a river full of pirahnas, without first educating yourself about them (and how to protect yourself).
Is there a way for him to try the new 'dmraid' without going the whole way and migrating to [testing]. This would also be useful for him (and me) to know.
Pretty simple. Enable testing, install dmraid, disable testing. Then your testing is limited to those packages only. Don't --sync --sysupgrade on testing.
