Check also my thread "Devel upgrades". At least you have to mark as not included clockd and some other packages. They will break your battery status as well as your clock. But uninstalling them and then installing back the versions mentioned in the thread peterleichen linked make it workable again.
It is just that cutetube2 won't work after that (you have to downgrade some qt stuff) and there may be some other things. Maybe a bit unstable sometimes (reboots may accur) but I made the upgrade couple of times and lived with device (both of us, device and I). Just read the thread first.

Quoting from that wiki page:
To keep from unintentionally upgrading to an extras-testing or extras-devel software version, it is possible to tell apt to always prefer stable packages over these other repositories via apt-pinning.
Would it be possible to expand the apt pinning to community/community-devel repos? I'm not sure about the syntax.
Is apt pinning even recommendable in a special situation like this?
Let's say I want to install a package from extras-devel or cssu-devel, and it wants to pull in dependencies - shouldn't those also be from extras-devel or cssu-devel?
I just tried with claws-mail from extras-devel, and with the apt pinning as above it installed all dependencies from the stable repos.

Just... Do not do that... 
+1 for peterleinchen
EDIT:// I recommend upgrading your apps one by one. Extras-devel could (should) be fine but maybe worth to see the output (apt-get -u upgrade) before jumping into the upgrade.

Furthermore (not an apt specialist and N900-retired):
this apt preference is related to label (-l) Extras and does not restrict Community repositories.
And also you would downgrade some packages installed from Extras-testing / -devel.
So maybe just remove (hash out) community-devel from repos.list?
There may be possibilities to use origin or archive option from apt but why (above is simpler)?

But making a devel upgrade gives you a thrill and hype. I had to do it twice even though I had to reflash after the first (and then after the second too). You get hooked to it.

Sure you can apt-get upgrade...
No one here will want to hear your screams afterwards though...
I suggest reading the wiki some...
And perhaps utilize the search option if in doubt about a topic..
Obviously you need to know your maemo basics .
Good thing you posted the query whether you should or shouldn't ...first
Saved you a lot of anguish.
