I think it's going to help our workflow and provide our users with more
stable updates. Time will tell.

Well, this has nothing to do with that. We are currently only pushing
to stable those updates that are needed to fix Alpha release blockers
in F14. So, it wouldn't matter here. 

Barring that tho, if they are broken now in f14, it should be very easy
to verify that the update fixes the broken deps and is installable no?

Sure it can. It can eat data, it can remove other packages. it can
break more important ones, it could be broken in different and more
subtle way, etc. 

Note that I am really uninterested in "argument by repetition", so I
don't intend to post further to this thread unless there is something
new to remark on. I would urge others to not get in a cycle of back and
forth with all the same arguments repeated over and over. Post if you
have something new to offer and please try and keep things positive. We
all want a better Fedora.
