The upgrade process uses whatever repos are enabled *in the current configuration*. So in the "typical" case, you are upgrading from a stable Fedora release with default repo configuration, in which updates-testing is not enabled. Thus updates-testing is not used for the upgrade.
This is why we have the policy of accepting clean FTI fixes during Beta freeze.
Yeah, but... when we are 'go' for Beta, we unlock the stable pushes again, so by the time Beta is actually released, most of those packages are already stable and in the base repo, no?
Of course that doesn't help testers, but they likely know how to enable updates-testing?
It seems like to me easier to just tell them 'make sure your update is stable before beta release day'.
