I have faith in the kernel and QA teams' regular testing and updates
process. But there's another key difference you're leaving out: if a
kernl problem arises at the last minute which affects the install
media (anaconda or otherwise), that may involve significant work and
delay. If a problem is discovered with a kernel in updates-testing,
it's just the kernel.
