If I haven't missed something, it looks like there was only a 2-day window (during a weekend) between the update to fedora-release-13-1 (which enabled updates and disabled updates-testing) http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-May/090747.html and the next push to updates-testing http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-May/090835.html and I can't find any public mention of this (though I know it was mentioned somewhere). This is crucial information for anyone installing from an image from before around May 8 (such as the Beta). If they miss the window, and then don't update fedora-release first, they end up with probably unwanted updates-testing packages. Just wondering, would it be possible and reasonable to have a flag associated with package updates that enable/disable repos, so that when an update includes them, do only those, and then notify that enabled repos have changed, so that another update should be done (or do it automatically)? If not, I think these windows should be publicized better, so people installing from earlier images don't end up with unwanted packages on their system. For example, since the Alpha and Beta are announced on the announce list, that might be a good place to announce this window as well.
