Yes and no. I moved all packages that would replace a Red Hat provides
package into "testing" as I wanted to keep "stable" free of replacing
packages.

I'm not a believer of "if it doesn't replace a vendor package then it
can't do harm, can it?"-nonsense, but I wanted to seal this source of
FUD. The drawback is that until I provide a dual provisioning model
I'm abusing "testing" for that.

This only affects RHEL/CentOS BTW.
