The problem is that those policies don't prevent regressions from happening. 
Bad stuff DOES slip through testing occasionally. In a perfect world, 
updates-testing would be a magic oracle to the question "Does this update 
introduce any regressions?" In practice, such a magic oracle doesn't exist.
