Specialized testing repositories (like the kernel, netdev, selinux ones
on p.r.c work fine). Blanket testing repositories do *not*. People are
ready to test bleeding edge, but only bleeding edge in the few parts of
the distro they're most interested in and which packagers they trust.

(also you'll note none of the given examples are for packages with big
dependency trees)
