Perhaps a more useful bit of QA prior to each push of packages to
"updates" would be to prep a new client (use mock), enable the [testing]
repo, add "includepkgs = <package list>", and then pass "<package list>"
to "yum install". If there are dependency problems, yum will fail.
If you're concerned about it, you might want to propose such a thing in
the dev list.
