Except that testing has worse security support as all updates go to 
unstable first, by definition. While security updates[1] are prioritised 
as much as possible, they could get entangled in some library 
transition.

[1] provided there are any timely security updates, as in unstable these 
are up to the package Maintainer, whereas for stable and oldstable there 
are dedicated teams.

Kind regards,
Andrei
