Is that 100% true?  I was originally referring to
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/testing-security
when I was talking about "testing security updates".  I understand that most
mirrors don't contain this suite, but it seems to be working pretty well along
with the "main" mirror I am using for testing updates (i.e. one that is closer
in proximity).

Perhaps mixing mirrors is a bad practice, but I haven't run into any issues for
the past week since I started using this apt configuration.

Yes, you did.  Plus it wouldn't make sense to pull the testing-security suite I
mentioned above into unstable, would it?
