Sure you are "saver" off with not using testing. However, if you have
the chance, using testing and reporting back any potential problems that
might occur is highly appreciated. So to say, if you don't have the
machine in a critical production environment, you might possible
consider trying the testing-updates.
Also confirmations ("works") for testing-updates are recommended.
However, note that reporting "works" can only be true for software you
actually use ... not just "installs fine" :-)
