That's what THEY (and apparently you think) want you to believe. FE
worked quite well without it.

Actually, updates-testing is an option which can be useful for a small
minority of package, but ATM, updates-testing doesn't work well, either.

Finally, updates-testing isn't the issue this thread started with. It's
lack of usability of bodhi and the work-flow underneath, and
passivity/refusal/inability of the those who are in charge of bodhi to
improve it.
