Right, testing packages from updates-testing would be hard to explain
to new users. And it's not needed during installation..
But to convince more experienced users to do so we could add it to the
tour that's in early talking stage.

One possibility to teach even new users (and more experienced ones) to
do so would be a "class" in IRC. We have a classroom and it's used to
teach our users about various topics.

Adding that to a tour trough fedora could bring in possible new testers.

CCing Ryan, if it's not at the talking points he can add it.
