it's not a matter of fair and paid testers when i don't get a update on 
machines with updates-testing enabled without going to the koji website 
and download it manually while it's already in CentOS 6/7 which needs to 
wait for RHEL updates and don't cook the packages independent

and especially in case of critical security updates it don't matter if 
something is fair and how it gets achievd, if there is a 0day exploit in 
the wild only the fact matters
