you can update to it with "yum --enablerepo updates-testing update kernel" 
shortly after the message was sent, in case there are no major bugs found, an 
update should arrive within two weeks in the updates repository. But this is 
completely left to the maintainer, so everything is possible. In detail, the 
maintainer decides when it is time to move the package to updates, clicks a 
button in a web application and then someone moves it to the updates 
repository, this happens normally within 24 hours.
