If we're going to support 'always being able to upgrade in the
devel stream to stable, and vice versa', we need to eliminate things
that break upgrades.

This involves:

1) automated post-build testing. Find broken packages before they
   go anywhere. Which means we need to find all the things that
   could break the repository, and write tests for them. 
2) non-automated post-build testing before packages are pushed. Includes:
   - smoke testing
   - %post/%preun/%etc auditing

Presumably more stuff that I'm missing here.
