It would be easy to do testing such as "does this kernel boot and have internet" (remember if we can boot, get online and yum works, a problem can be fixed in most cases so this would be important regression testing to do).

I suspect that some of the problems I have been having with WPA2 passphrases being unrecognised has something to do with this. I only recently found out that people using updates-testing repository can give karma to updates, being a first indicator if a package is 'bad' or 'good'. I would have thought that this process would have whittled out the bad kernel update. Oh well, it's all a lesson for the future. Thanks for the write up.
