I didnt claim that all updates need to be pushed to the testing

those exceptions should be better communicated and in case of general
guidelines, better documented. Security fixes for might directly go
into updates repository while major revisions of packages should go
through updates-testing repository is a simple enough policy to enforce
for example. I dont for a moment believe that all potential issues or
regressions in updates would be caught in the updates-testing repository
however there is a potential to have less issues when the testing
repository is used by testers who might provide better feedback. The
problem is not necessarily what we do but a communication gap in why we
do it , the way we do it.
At the very least, it provides a nice comeback when people complain that
update X broke feature Y for them.
