Given all this testing, I'm not going to spend time testing the

Testing upstream GDB builds on all the supported Fedoras nightly. Fedora
packages I test only on their own Fedora version. It is easy and automated
using mock.
FYI GDB regression testing scripts

But this should be a part of a Beaker deployment which I do not much about:

The only really remaining risks are compiler problems (which are
extremely
rare)
This is sometimes and issue for GDB but almost all of them are the debuginfo
problems which are specific to GDB (but also to Systemtap and other tools).
