It is very important that people use testing [0], so we should really
encourage _more_ rather than less of that, IMHO. Rather than advice
the user to stop using testing, I'd advice them to sign up to the
mailinglist :-)

Maybe this requirement should be communicated more clearly (e.g. a
comment in the standard pacman.conf)?

Cheers,

[0]: a lot of the non-trivial bugs against my packages are discovered
after they move to core, probably because the people with the right
hardware/use-cases are not using testing.
