"entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity"

Now we got:
fedora-updates
fedora-updates-testing

It's easy to add another repos:
fedora-updates-urgent
fedora-updates-really-urgent
fedora-updates-not-really-urgent
fedora-updates-next-year

Adding additional repo _won't_ solve the problem. I only use packages
from fedora-updates-testing from time to time - many regular users do
the same thing. I bet that most users don't even know about this
repo...
