Anyone have an RPM command to report what packages one has installed that come from updates-testing? I could then add it to a cron job to nag me, go submit a verify for those I actually use, and perhaps remove the ones I'm not using (which would then not be verified by me) to get rid of the nag.

Here's a very simple script for you which prints out if you have installed package versions which exist in fedora legacy. Note that I'm making a shortcut/assumption here by assuming that for foo.src.rpm, there will be foo.i386.rpm which would be installed.
So, it's not bulletproof but might be "good enough".
