Correct.

I would stringly advise against it unless you know exactly what you are
trying to do! For dualbooting the kernel has to support special features
which might not be supported by the "unstable" feed's kernel.
Additionally the kernel images are not always interchangeable since the
modules depend on it. So you might end up with a working kernel which
refuses to load your (old) modules.
