Using testing to -Syu your system every day, you should be a frequent
reader of arch-dev-public, simple as that. Anything in testing could be
broken, that's why it's testing. We abuse testing for testing out
packages, but also for big todo tasks.
I use testing on my system to do a pacman -Syu daily, but when the
readline rebuilds started to enter testing, I decided to wait a bit
before upgrading.
