Throw a party!

I would suggest staying with Sarge unless you get to a point that you need
whatever follows.

A way to do that as Sarge transitions from testing to stable is to point
at 'sarge' rather than 'testing'.

Sarge wasn't, but it's generally better to stick with stable if you can.
That's especially true on something used under lots of conditions.

Granted, I almost always run testing on my laptops :).

> Do I have to do a dist-upgrade at some point to stay with testing?

You should be doing dist-upgrades at least once in a while if you're
tracking testing or unstable. I do upgrade and dist-upgrade almost every
day on my testing machines. I seldom have problems.

Actually, it's freezing :).
