Except that testing has worse security support as all updates go to unstable first, by definition. While security updates[1] are prioritised as much as possible, they could get entangled in some library transition. [1] provided there are any timely security updates, as in unstable these are up to the package Maintainer, whereas for stable and oldstable there are dedicated teams.
