You do know that if you put the testing repo LAST in your pacman
configuration, the packages in it will not be upgraded automatically,
and willl not override the packages in repos that come before it in the
configuration. This way, it's possible to have testing in your conf, yet
cherry pick your packages from it (a la pacman -S testing/firefox).
