No, my concern is that a bunch of system packages may be upgraded as well to "testing" version when doing this (maybe not for blender, but when using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"). I don't want the compiler, gettext, autoconf or anything else upgraded from stable and if a package will work with the stable version (even though it is itself a testing version), then it should use them ... using the keyword change does not allow for this.
