As a "normal user", of a "stable distro", I would never want to use updates-testing, because the distro is defined as "stable". I would only consider using individual packages for "testing them locally", when being victim of bugs in "stable" and being asked/pointed to packages from other sources. It's essentially the same as with individual maintainers pointing bug reporters to private sites or to rawhide (The infamous FIXEDRAWHIDE). As a developer, I would only consider packages from "testing" if I know there is something new inside, I am particularly interested in.
