And what is to guarantee maintainers actually look at feedback?  Maybe a 
package is pushed to testing with a timeout of 7 days, and for whatever 
reason, they don't notice 50 "this update eats my file system" comments 
on the update.  Sounds like a great idea.

The whole point of -testing is that we're assuming updates might not 
ready for production.  If we want to assume that updates _are_ ready to 
be pushed, let's just skip -testing altogether and fix bugs post facto.
