Apart from the cause (and obvious ways to prevent the same thing from 
happening) it's an interesting case in the discussion of the promotion of 
packages from testing to elrepo.

What's the use of having the package for 2 weeks in testing, if it is only 
ever used when it hits elrepo. The only effect is that our packages are 2 
weeks late with no obvious benefits.

This obviously changes my view on the automated promotion and the need for 
a testing repository, unless we can change the dynamics (although I don't 
see any obvious ways to make people use testing).

My current thought is to only push packages to testing if there is a known 
need for testing, or if there's an established set of testers. (Some 
organisations use these packages, but the testing only happens when it 
fits their planning, and not ours, unfortunately)
