Thanks!  Yep, I found that wiki after I posted (oops).

One question: would these repos be considered "Rolling" releases?  I mean, they 
aren't cut as releases, but would always have the "Tip" of packages, fixes and 
updates?

qubes-dom0-current-testing    testing packages that will eventually land in the 
stable (current) repository 
qubes-dom0-security-testing   a subset of qubes-dom0-current-testing that 
contains packages that qualify as security fixes 

I do not plan on running unstable.  :)

Thanks!
