Hum, good points earlier on.

So thinking this through again...the bit I forgot to mention - the 
reason why 'updates' matters - is that on fedup to Branched, updates-
testing is (usually) not used, because fedup takes its repo set from 
the release being upgraded from. I don't know if it'd be practical to 
change that, or if we should just look at the distro-sync mode as the 
'solution'. It'd be good to get Will's thoughts.
