By that time testing will have received lots of updates so switching to stable has to be done before these updates are made in testing.

If that doesn't work it would imply that there are packages in testing that will never reach stable. Is that the case?
No that is not the case, but as you wrote in your earlier post

What you suggested will work just fine, but you have to know what you're doing. That's why Joe average should reflash and install stable then to have a "clean" system state where if he needs help people can make assumptions about the packges installed from cssu.
