I don't want the hassle of running a hybrid Woody/Sarge system, just because I'm too lazy to deal with the depedencies, but I don't mind a few bugs in exchange for a more recent version of KDE/gAIM/whatever.
One disadvantage of moving away from stable is that you don't have the security updates available anymore. Of course, this probably doesn't matter much if you're on a single family PC with no open ports to the Internet.
But what I do on my home PC is run stable (with security updates) plus selective updates from some of the 3rd-party Woody backport sources from apt-get.org. Then, I just keep an eye on new security updates; if one cropped up on a package I drew from a 3rd party source, I'd have to figure out if the 3rd-party packager had incorporated the update, and what I needed to do if he didn't.
I can't stand behind any of the packages from apt-get.org, but I'd be very surprised if, say, Adrian Bunk's packages were not of extremely high quality.
I do notice there's some KDE there, but I can't tell if they're Woody backports.
Happy hunting!
