By definition BETA software is never intended to be pushed to stable. Fx 57 is BETA. When the STABLE version is released, then it can go into updates-testing. Not before. Again, that is the purpose of RAWHIDE.

Does this mean it's also not allowed to push packaged git-snapshots of a software to updates-testing because they are unreleased and potentially unstable?

As Adam mentioned apparently this isn't the "Official Policy".

My opinion however is common sense dictates that you don't put anything in updates-testing unless you intend to push that software to stable. If you want people to test out experimental software, put it in RAWHIDE. If it's a git-snapshot and your INTENT is to push it to stable (for example, you're fixing a bug) then that is OK for updates-testing.

In this instance, there is no intent to push Fx 57 BETA to stable. That's why it does't belong in update-testing.
