So I'm a consumer of the packages you leave in -testing even though I don't comment in bodhi. To me, the real value of the testing repository (or lack of value) is not whether the update ever gets auto-pushed. It's whether showstopper bugs get caught while still in the -testing repo before being pushed out to -stable. I've had a few of those caught and reported a few myself so I'm seeing value there. -Toshio
