I think the kernel team has intentionally stopped pushing things to
-testing so quickly for F(N-1) because the karma doesn't come in fast
enough; if they keep pushing builds to updates-testing as they get done,
then they *never* get enough karma to go stable before they get
obsoleted by the next one. So they're letting kernels sit in
updates-testing for longer in the hopes they'll at least get something
pushed stable.

I try to do f-e-k for F(N-1) regularly but I'm not doing a great job of
it lately :( We definitely need more people to do it. Thinking about it,
the problem may be that people running F(N-1) are typically more
'conservative' users who don't want to enable updates-testing. That's
certainly the case for me; my real F(N-1) systems are my servers, and I
don't want to run updates-testing on those, obviously. I have to use a
VM to do karma runs.
