Well, I was not 100% serious, though your argument is lacking. Although
you might run into some trouble, just taking single packets from e.g.
testing while running a debian stable system is possible...
Not to mention that it does not cost money or (almost more
important to me) have to make the effort of buying something (which esp.
online can become quite a hassle if you do not have a credit card) but
can "just" upgrade the whole system.
