It's going to be stable in one month. Fx 57 release date is 2017-11-14.

Yes, I understand there is an annotation NOT to push Fx 57 to stable - but
I thought that was the purpose of updates testing... software there is
intended to be tested and pushed to stable.

I expect the testing repo is used by experienced users who wish to test
software planned for Fedora thus I don't see any problem here.

   It's *updates*-testing repo and software in it should not be 'planned',
but basically 'ready' for Fedora.
   If you want testing repo for experienced users, use COPR.

I don't see it that way. Is that your personal statement or is that written in any Fedora rules? I don't see that at Fedora page [1].


The very first sentence of the page you linked above:
The updates-testing repository, also referred to as Test Updates, contains updates scheduled to be released for Branched pre-releases (after the Bodhi enabling point) and stable releases of Fedora

The point is that your update is not intended to ever make it to the stable update, i.e., it is not "scheduled to be released" for anything. If I understood correctly, you want people to test the beta version and then eventually submit the final release (i.e., not this update) to stable. I don't think that's how the updates-testing repository is supposed to be used. Instead, it should only contain updates that will eventually make it into stable.
