Updates to Testing happen because the package has proven to be sufficiently OK in unstable. Maybe a developer can explain the criteria, I don't know them. There are no classes, and I don't think there will be. Read a changelog and you will see all kinds of changes being put in at the same time. Updates to Stable happen because of security-related problems. That's why it's called security.debian.org. There are no feature upgrades to Stable. Not even for thnigs like snort signatures. If you want new features in Stable, get the packages from Testing or Unstable. Of course, this would currently mean upgrading a good part of your packages... Or, get the source, and build packages on Stable. Otherwise, no new features.
