So basically, Debian testing.

  Debian testing + desktop enhancements (like the lcdfilter patched libcairo that I cannot live without) sounds pretty good to me.

  Testing doesn't get security updates in a timely manner and is discouraged for production use.

  Testing is the parade of preparation preceding a traditional release where they ship 53 CDs to desert island users every few years. Testing still gets frozen once they think they're nearing a release. Testing still completely breaks unless you update all systemy packages in lockstep — apt+deb are not designed for mix-and-match, hell it can't even resolve multiple installed versions of the same package! You have to mangle the name and fuck up the depgraphs of every package that depends on it, forcing mutual-exclusion of otherwise unrelated packages. Testing is not a rolling release.

    They are adding a new version called backports (well not new exactly, but it'll be officially supported this time). Backports is intended to be rolling release for higher profile packages.
