Huh? None of that junk is in updates today, that's why people
find it broken all the time. The test system using the staging
repo can either run "yum update" with no errors, or it can't.
If it gets no errors, the staging repo becomes the updates
repo. If it does get errors, the updates repo is left alone
until the staging repo gets fixed and everyone who pushed
an update since the last time updates was working gets mail
with the yum update transcript.

Yes, that means nothing goes in updates if even one thing
is broken in the staging repo. But that is NOT a problem.
Virtually everyone trying to run "yum update" with the current
process is getting errors and giving up till things work
anyway.
