For me, there is a bit of a problem with updates-testing: the machine I work
on is my primary desktop, and I'm extremely wary of getting myself into a
situation I can't easily get out of. Now, you might argue that avoiding u-t is
essentially avoiding the inevitable (and Tbird 3 has shown me that, so I
agree), but it is riskier.
What would sell me totally on u-t was if there was something where I can roll
back bad packages.
I've suggested this very thing in a F-A-B thread this week. We,
packagers, have no way to fix a mistake and very few things preventing us
from making them:
