I disagree. In my case nobody ever noticed the regressions in testing
even for my packages that are widely used. And for the packages that 
correspond with a niche of users, of course I never got any feedback 
in bodhi.

Given that it seems that there isn't a lot of people using testing it
seems to me that for niche software it would be better to go straight to
stable.
