For RHEL5 the testing repo isn't really "testing" quality, but stable
quality. The reason why the packages are not labeled stable is that
they exist in one or another form in the vendors' pool as well (like
qt44 vs qt4), so in order to offer a conservative opt-in model for
RHEL and friends these packages are banned from stable.

So just enable testing to get all bits and bolts.
