current testing

Hello after a long absence. Following up (in a sense) on the recent
thread about the wisdom of mixing elements from the stable and
testing/unstable distributions, I wanted to ask about how stable
current testing is.

I used to run the testing distribution as a matter of course, but have
been too busy at work in recent times to devote the necessary time to
that project. I miss the fun of it and I'd like to test-drive the
upgrade.

If the past is a good guide, though, this close to a release, running
the testing distribution has been a reassuringly boring experience. Is
that so at present? I'd be particularly curious about the transition
(back) to ffmpeg. Is that transition actually in place in stretch?
And there is or was the big Perl transition. Are there other things to
worry about before running dist-upgrade?

If anyone has relevant experience I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks,

Jim
