It's going to be stable in one month. Fx 57 release date is 2017-11-14.

And? My point was that Fx 57 isn't stable now, it's BETA.

Yes, I understand there is an annotation NOT to push Fx 57 to stable - but
I thought that was the purpose of updates testing... software there is
intended to be tested and pushed to stable.

I expect the testing repo is used by experienced users who wish to test software planned for Fedora thus I don't see any problem here.

It is my understanding that is the purpose of RAWHIDE. updates-testing is for software that is intended to be pushed to stable. It isn't for BETA

software.

There are many extensions which aren't yet available for Fx 57 - and we're
effectively moving up the timetable by putting it in updates testing.

Do you think it's better when it suddenly appears on stable at 2017-11-14? I do not.

Well, if people want to test, they can use Nightly or RAWHIDE. If people start placing BETA software in updates-testing, why do we need

RAWHIDE.
