IMHO a full-universe testing repo will only evolve in a second rawhide
due to package inter-dependencies and temporal overlap of testing
operations. The release discipline problems won't be easier to solve
just because of the "testing" name

Targeted temporary testing spaces (à la p.r.c.) may be more useful, but
setting them up will take more admin work than just creating another
branch.

+1 for hardening the existing process (whoot? I agree with Axel on
something???). It's time to recognise FE can learn from FC just as FC
learnt from FE.
