That reasoning would tend to argue for the reverse of EPEL's policy.  If
the packages are so stable, why go through testing?

Every time a package is built, it is susceptible to new bugs.  Packaging
bugs, build requirement changes, and software bugs all creep in, and not
trying to ram things out the door as fast as possible seems like a good
idea.
