Hrm - that works, obviously.

Follow up question - what config file would g-s follow? Does it use
yum.conf? I had the install only limit set to 5 in dnf.conf, not in
yum.conf, and g-s removed 3 of my older kernels.

I did manage to deal with it - I distro synced to stable and will now
update packages one by one to see what's breaking. :D

I just thought *forbidding* updates-testing from g-s would be an added
layer of security - even if an unassuming user wants to enable it, he
should either be told - "Nope matey! If you wanna test stuff, use
yum/dnf!" or at least a warning that says "Woah! Are you sure? This
stuff isn't tested - it might break and you'll need to be able to debug
it!". You know, something on these lines?
