Quite interesting. What's true there? The risk of a flaky system?
Yeah, that can happen. But that happens as well with updates from
updates repo.
Please re-read my original reply. I said it *increases* the risk of a
flaky system. Kevin appears to agree.
And you think it's true that you cant back out and stop using
updates-testing because you used it once?
Ditto. I didn't say that either.
