Just have to say, I upgraded to testing a little more than a week ago, and had no problems at all. I then reconfigured pacman.conf and removed testing, resulting in hundreds of messages to the effect of "local version of package X is newer than the one on the server". Yesterday, those messages disappeared as packages were moved to current/extra, and I'm out of testing :) What I'm trying to say is that this would completely destroy a debian installation, but not Arch. Arch does not need a dist-upgrade since version numbers don't really matter in the same way as debian's version numbers matter.
