Since the changes from test4 is supposed to be minimal, there is plan discussed on the last Fedora QA meeting on "supporting" updates from test4 to the general release of Fedora 7 to see how well this works out in practice. Reverts to an earlier version might be handled using epochs if they are really required.
That is good news. Treating test4 as a kind of release candidate that a user can officially upgrade from might get more people on board to catch last minute installation issues on bizarre hardware and reduce the release day download surge. /Mike
