I'm interested in the "why" not the "what". IMO, every detail about what
sort of testing an update has seen, what tests are considered most
relevant, and what might break, is added value. To remove such details from
the stable update description would be stupid. If I wanted to run such tests
prior to applying the stable update, where would I find the details? Hopefully
the answer is not "too late, the test-update has been your only opportunity".

The Update Details could have been phrased better, though. To not create
any confusion at all, and to not raise doubts about the stability of the
update.
