You are conflating two different although related things.  Test days are
focussed on testing the features in the development branch so that the
general release is of good quality.  Update strategy will not affect it
in any way although it seems you have missed out Fedora Board's and
FESCo's proposals on update policies.  If that is the case, refer to

Bill Nottingham's proposal to FESCo at

If you are willing to help, you should coordinate with the QA team on
that but to have realistic expectations, such a feature in
Openoffice.org would not be a blocker for either OO.o upstream  or a
Fedora release at any time. Finding out regressions is useful
nevertheless.  We can document them better.
