Testing is not really a rolling release and is not guaranteed to get security updates in a timely manner so it's certainly not for everyone.

Testing is a rolling release for most of the time. As well as Sid is:

Sid [rolling] -> Testing [rolling] -> Stable [point release]

This is only true until testing gets frozen. After a freeze gets lifted again, many transitions might occur. I use it myself but it's wrong to call it a rolling release that everyone should use.
