And that groupupdate will miss some packages which should also be updated. (I 
know, I've done it myself. I had to use yum shell and manually update some 
additional packages which weren't caught by the groupupdate.) kde* will also 
miss some stuff, e.g. konq-plugins.

Moreover, the packages currently in updates-testing are missing the latest 
fixes (for the same reason the update isn't stable yet), so unless you're 
prepared to pick those from Koji, you'd better just wait for the update to be 
pushed to stable (with those fixes, which are already in the queued update).

You'll also end up with the GStreamer Phonon backend only if you update from 
testing now unless you manually force phonon-backend-xine, and that GStreamer 
backend has problems with device selection which could cause problems with 
PulseAudio. In the update queued for stable, we have:
* made phonon-backend-gstreamer the longer name again, so yum prefers 
phonon-backend-xine if you're upgrading from 4.0,
* fixed some regressions in PulseAudio support in the Xine backend (requires 
updated phonon, phonon-backend-xine and kdebase-runtime).
