Splitting the updates repos into "updates-testing," 
"updates-probably-stable," "updates-stable," "updates-really-stable," or 
whatever doesn't solve the problem.  Not only would the choice of what 
is on by default remain the only distinction of significance, but it 
would also subdivide Fedora releases in a way that prevents bugs that 
are fixed with version upgrades from reaching most users.

If we want to go down that road we might as well write a yum plugin that 
installs updates only if they meet a user-set karma threshold.  At least 
then we wouldn't have repo proliferation.
