I don't think that would be a good change, as it's changing the generic
functionality of a tool for one specific use case: our build system.

it would seem to make more sense, to me, to configure bodhi to re-try
the build, with updates-testing repo enabled, if a buildrequires for a
build that's been submitted to updates-testing cannot be satisfied in
the initial run. i.e., implement the use of the fallback repo in bodhi,
not in yum.
