Sorry, but I don't believe "updates-testing" can be considered stable, that
is for, you know... testing. I'm not suggesting pushing to "updates" where
the packages could be updated without user intervention. One must
specifically enable the updates-testing repo to receive the new rpms. Guess
the ball is in sugarlabs' court then.

I'd rather not download a half gig iso file for testing < 5MBs worth of
sugar code. Pity sugar 0.104 will miss rawhide's branching cutoff for F22
by 3 days[1][2]. From what I read above there is no hope for 0.104 to be
part of F22 then.
