Leaving it in testing forever is a reasonable option, though my preference is to not update at all. Old Fedora releases should just get bug fixes and not major version updates - libvirt's almost OK because its ABI stable and has no UI, but we have caused regressions due to introducing new bugs. virt-manager has undergone major UI changes & redesign, and its really not the kind of thing that should be pushed into stable Fedora releases.
