Yes, I realized this later.  This always seems to come up at upgrade 
-- if you previously used updates-testing, its yum repo config gets 
replaced, and you have to remember to re-enable it.

This "remember to re-enable updates-testing after installing new 
fedora-release packages" is something that should also be mentioned in 
the FAQ.

Or even better, we should figure out how to preserve the previous 
configuration in this respect.
