But you did say "It can then be hard to back out to *not* using 
updates-testing for every future update."

I don't understand the logic there. If you use updates-testing to get 
the kde packages from updates-testing and then stop using 
updates-testing, eventually the updates you got from updates-testing 
make it to updates. From that point on you are back to the same state 
you would have been by just using updates.
