It hopefully tells some people that often I'm equal to an early-warning
system. And if I complain that updates ought to spend some time in
updates-testing first [1], this is based on experience. More breakage in
this report, earlier reports, and private reports based on other check
scripts, was also caused by skipping updates-testing. One packager this
time did not know about releng's buildroot overrides and didn't ask
either. So, once again it is both a documentation and communication
problem.

[1] And I never suggested that it should not be possible to skip
"testing" for special updates.
