Yes.  But then we need a notion of "submitting a build to
updates-testing" in koji to enable the automatic fallback, and at that
point it's almost as easy for the maintainer to build against
updates-testing explicitly.  Either variant of the approach has the
danger though that because a build needs one thing from updates-testing,
it will end up getting something else from updates-testing that the
maintainer didn't expect.
