There's also a thinking of, that the repository contains buggy packages, broken dependencies and other stuff, which will eat your baby. And of course that's partitially right. Maybe it doesn't eat the Fedora system, but who can be sure when it's testing? I think, that's an unresolvable issue, but there are enough users out there, which will never enable updates-testing because of this thinking. But less testing makes updates-testing and even updates not better (if some testing happens at all). > Whenever someone says "Fedora is community-driven" I'd really like to see > that it means "update pkg foo passed the testing done by a group of > power-users" and not just "Fedora provides a system where a single package > maintainer is free to unleash a pkg and burden the community with breakage". I like also to see the idea, where the installations of a package are counted and reported to the maintainer who can compare the number with issues and problems reported for. E.g. 100 installations of an updated package where no new issues where reported for.
