I'd like to propose a small(ish) change to how updates to Fx and

work.
Currently we have to wait until package gets to stable for it to appear
in buildroot. IMO this goes against the whole "testing" part of
updates-testing. I'd like for packages to appear in buildroot as soon as
they are in updates-testing. Reasoning:
* Building deps is part of testing. If anything fails -> package
should be withdrawn from testing and not pushed.
There are a few corner-cases I could think of where this approach could
cause a bit of headaches, but in those cases even current process
wouldn't help us much IMO.
Any opinions on this?
While I see some value in this, poisoning the buildroot is a grave danger
here. I'd be hesitant to endorse it.
Is this proposal based on any real examples of updates-testing pkgs breaking
builds? Perhaps we could study these cases closer first.
