Do we? Do we really?
Then why do people keep violating it so flagrantly?

No. They shouldn't do it. At all!
It's not OK to mix binary ("deb") repositories for stable and anything
newer than stable if your end goal is, and I quote, "Moving from Testing
to Stable + Backports".
If you mix binary repositories, then you are running whichever release
has the highest-numbered packages out of your set of binary repositories.
This means: if you mix binary repositories for stable and testing, you
are running testing. You are NOT running "stable with a bit of testing
here and there". You're running testing. Full stop.
If you try to complicate your life by adding pinning, this does NOT mean
you are running "stable with a bit of testing". No. It means you're
running a BROKEN version of testing. When it comes crashing down around
you, we will continue to tell you to please Don't Break Debian.

If I don't "yell", they don't listen.
