I have suggested this before in FUDCon and I am obviously in favor of 
it.  When the release is stable, to differentiate stable updates from 
testing updates is important however when the entire release is under 
testing, differentiating is far less necessary and one would say even a 
unnecessary hassle.  Use the updates repo directly and when the release 
is going into freeze mode or whatever, just announce that instead and 
switch on to using the updates-testing repo at that point
