This is not true. They are completely different scenarios.

The purpose of using "release"+"updates"+"updates-testing" is entirely
different from using "release"+"updates", esp. in stages like these.

The purpose of using "release"+"updates" is to test upgrading to
Fedora(N+1) (and testing fedup/yum/dnf-support ) and not to test
update-candidate packages from "update-testing".

I don't really see the distinction as important,
I consider this to be critically important ...

because it is a
perennially moving target in any case. After Tuesday, f21 will get a new
stable updates push every day.
... it is likely the #1 cause of users facing broken updates - Esp. during time-frames shortly after releases like these.

I haven't checked details this time, but there a quite a few reports indicating this has happened again with this release.
