I'm still not sure this improves anything, at least from reading the
page above (I wasn't able to be at fudcon). 

So, say we have 30updates/day currently. 
With this model they would pile up and then be tested in a unit?
Then once a week all 210 of them would be pushed out?
(The once a day blorp becomes a larger once a week blorp). 

Who is testing them "as a single unit" ?

How much time for testing would there be? If another update shows up
the day before the weekly push, it would be deferred to the next one? 
How about 2 days? 3?  

Would security updates hold for the next weekly push? 
Or push out as they are done? If so, wouldn't that mess up in progress
testing?
