It is simple: if you don't use testing you never learn. Telling others "RTFM
and don't ask questions" is ridiculous, because following this logic >50% of
forum posts is just noise. And just because you subscribe to ML doesn't mean
that you'll remember 1 relevant message out of 100 (personally I learned more
from http://allanmcrae.com/2011/08/pacman-package-signing-3-pacman/ about
pacman package signing than from all of [{arch,pacman}-dev*]. This is of course
not to say that ML are not important, beacuse they are.

Besides, one really doesn't have to enable testing in pacman.conf -- individual
pacman -U will do, imho.

Regarding your compile flags, I would use -match=native (instead of your
-march and -m) and -fstack-protector-all (instead of -fstack-protector) if you
don't mind increasing the size of binaries a little.
