>Is there a branch that keeps relatively recent versions of packages and is reasonably usable as a daily driver?

Recently, I've been looking for an alternative to Debian testing or unstable for the desktop that doesn't stop getting updates during the stable freeze and doesn't break afterwards. It seems like the best option here is one of the rolling release distributions based on unstable like aptosid or siduction; I am downloading an aptosid ISO right now to try it out.

Can anyone here relate their own experiences with those?
