Gabriel, I understand that you can pull from unstable, but, once done, you aren't running the stable branch any more.

While there may be a great deal of anecdotal evidence that "testing" and "unstable" are reliable enough, but, per the Debian site, stable is the "official" release, "testing" is "not completely tested and has no official support from Debian security team", while unstable "is run by developers and those who like to live on the edge".
