I don't think you give the updates-testing repo the credit it
deserves.  More than a few people use it.  And it does catch real
problems before they hit the stable updates repo.

You should check your facts before you imply this.  Michael does a lot
of work to keep the repositories and updates sane, looking out for

often overlook.
