You should avoid doing this for more reasons than one!

1. Since there are only three versions of Debian at any given time
   you will reach the top of the charts in exactly two days! Once you
   already run "unstable" (or "testing" for that matter), running

   	apt-get update; apt-get upgrade 

   should do the trick.

2. There is more to life than keeping up with the Joneses...

Kapil.
(reformed "apt-get upgrade"r).
