Woody can be pretty outdated, depending on what you want to do with it. For me the biggest problem is having pgsql 6.5 on there, instead of something up there in the 7.x series. We just can't write good code w/out having the outer-joins in the 7.x series.
All in all testing is pretty stable, the only problem I've found in my experiences in the PHP packages are kind of out of sync with the rest of things. Yes, I should be running and ducking for cover here :) ... php4 installs fine, but the php4-pgsql package was broken for quite some time so I had to do some manual source building to get things flying. Might be fixed by now. That brings me to the -other- problem with 'unstable' on Debian right now... occasionaly deps get out of order and your depencies are all broken. A package will require another package that isn't yet checked in and such. Kinda risky for running a real server on it I suppose. If you -do- run testing on a server don't wrecklessly apt-get dist-upgrade on the thing. You'll be in tears eventually.
