Just to properly set expectations, I'd like to point out that while I
agree that critical path package updates should meet a higher degree of
quality, we've not yet collectively determined what "testing updates"
means.  QA is working on the infrastructure to support test automation
and bouncing around ideas as to what a quality package update might look
like.  Until then, the same procedures in place for updates-testing now
will be used for critical path packages [1].
