I'd prefer to only have candidates for core/extra in testing. Especially if it should stay there for months. Therefore please go with an unstable repo. Having these packages in testing makes it less attractive/usable for users and more important any rebuilds that cover xfce packages will be a pain. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
