I think some (many?) people have some machines with updates-testing
enabled. I do on my laptop, and this catches the occasional bug in an
update. I report negative karma almost exclusively, because I don't do
any proactive testing of updates, so usually I don't have the basis to
say that an update is "good". But the time spent in updates-testing is
still useful for some form of testing.
