One could always wish that a package would appear on the mirrors within 
seconds after it's submitted. I can imagine that that might not be doable 
though, although I'm not sure why.

I'm still new to the process, and on the few occasions when I've had packages 
to submit I was never sure I had done everything right before I could install 
the package the usual way with Yum (enabling updates-testing of course, when 
that's where I had submitted it to). It's frustrating to wait for hours or 
days before I can do that. I don't know if there is a better solution but I do 
wish I could test installing right away.
