7 I don't believe so. Marking a few packages as testing on package.keywords
8 is OK, but when you have a substantial mixture of stable and testing
9 packages, you are likely to run into more problems than with a 100%
10 testing system.

12 Running ~arch does involve some more work, mainly because packages are
13 updated far more frequently, but you seem to be around the point where
14 you have even more work with your mixture. The trouble with adding
15 packages to package.keywords as and when is that the number creeps up.
16 beyond the point where switching to ~arch is easier.
