There's another possible explanation for that policy: users who don't
participate in testing know that any update with an ID went to stable
and won't be distracted by references to IDs of testing updates in
various forums.  But actually, I would prefer giving every update an ID.

Why is this "flexibility" a good thing?  All it does is confuse testers
like me.
