The idea of a "testing" repo doesn't work. Very few users want to be a guinea pig, even fewer enterprise users have time to be a guinea pig.

I think the testing repos are still there for Core. Although they don't get heavy testing, they still get some. Also, they seem to be very useful during bug fixing - I've sometimes seen package maintainers say "please try the updated version in updates-testing to see if that fixes this bug". It'd be good to still have that. J. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
