I think it would also be way beneficial to have a testing-enabled chroot beside the 'current' chroot. After creating the chroot (say /var/archroot-testing), just edit /var/archroot-testing/etc/pacman.conf and enable testing, then run mkarchroot -u to update the chroot. Then guys like me can even build against testing packages. Woot.
