Uh, no, I did not say that, you snipped the stuff I actually said without
removing the line claiming I said what follows.
As a datapoint, Fedora Infrastructure runs with EPEL testing enabled.
So
the slow rate of package migration from testing to stable in EPEL can't be
characterized as "doesn't seem to be a problem". Whether it's a better
or
worse problem to have, I'm not yet opinioned enough to bikeshed about.
To me it shows that that system doesn't work at all.
