You clearly want to be able to push whatever, whenever (see massive KDE

playing fast and loose with updates has consequences, and putting a
little delay in there would probably be better.
EPEL has run this way for a while, and it doesn't seem to be a problem.
As a datapoint, Fedora Infrastructure runs with EPEL testing enabled. So
the slow rate of package migration from testing to stable in EPEL can't be
characterized as "doesn't seem to be a problem". Whether it's a better
or
worse problem to have, I'm not yet opinioned enough to bikeshed about.
