I would really not advise that. The changes as one distribution rolls to 
stable and the next one becomes testing are quite major - also, things
change (like sources.list files).

I would suggest that you remain on bookworm until bookworm is released as
stable. At that point (and only then) change bookworm to trixie and carry
on. As soon as bookworm is released, there will be massive churn.

Stable, testing, unstable are mutable: distribution code names are not.
There's a reason why Debian switched to codenames early - there never was
a Debian 1.0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history
and https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases

With every good wish, as ever,
