Comment (by mattdm):
I don't think we '''need''' a fast-updates-testing. In these cases, the testing is almost always done by people grabbing unpushed builds from koji.
I guess it doesn't _hurt_, and might make it easier for people to test ("yum --enablerepo=fast-testing install foopackage" instead of following the individual koji links). What would cause the packages to move from fast-updates-testing to fast-updates? Could that happen automatically with bodhi karma?
(We'd probably want something like 5 as a normal threshold for these, especially if it's automatic; one upside of the current log delay is that it gives time for a ''lot'' of people to test in the meantime and by the time it's going out to mirrors, it's pretty sure that the update at least isn't catastrophically wrong.)
The fedmsg / createrepo reactor should probably test for properly-signed RPMs just to be safe.
