Unstable doesn't receive security updates other than those the maintainer
might upload (ie, the security team don't get involved with unstable).

Testing is a good compromise between stability and the latest versions of
applications. Stable plus backports is, arguably, even better, as then you
have security updates as well.

Wanting security updates and the very latest versions of applications will
sometimes be an incompatible desire.
