Debian does not work the way you seem to be thinking. Jessie has been 
released - it IS the new stable. Wheezy will continue to be supported as 
'old stable' for some time.

You probably would not want to change  'wheezy' to 'stable' - because 
when a new stable is released it would be automatically installed when 
you did updates. I always recommend waiting a while before upgrading. In 
theory, changing to 'jessie' then doing 'apt-get update' 'apt-get 
upgrade' 'apt-get dist-upgrade' should complete the upgrade for you but, 
as you've been advised, it's always best to make a backup (at least of 
'essential' data) first.

Who is talking about Debian? It's Raspbian that matters in this case, 
and wheezy is still the current stable in that arena.

I believe the next official image to be released by the RPF will be 
jessie, and at that point jessie will become the new Raspbian stable.

An announcement will be made in the official blog at that time.

True enough, I guess, if you insist on sticking to rpi foundation images. 
raspbian.org at least has jessie repositories.
