This is actually your personal opinion AFAIK, right? I tend to disagree
with this -- one example which seems to me legitimate is when I create a
new package (I remember I came to this conclusion with both PSPP and
nimbus-theme) then I sometimes push it into Fedora-[n-1] just for
updates-testing, because I really don't have enough computers to do real
testing on older distros. By that, people who really want it, can take
it and they are implicitly warned that this is not meant to be stable
(generally speaking, I guess, people who follow updates-testing has to
survive some amount of breakage), but it is not thrown on unsuspecting
users of stable.
