CentOS docs - Sep 2008 - policy w.r.t Testing repo details on wiki articles

Hi,

Do we have a policy w.r.t adding details about packages in the testing 
repo on the wiki ?

Imho that is wrong and encourages the sort of behavior that we want to 
stop - people using the testing repo without feedback and casual users 
moving to the testing repo.

I think the important thing to keep in mind is - packages in the testing 
repo are NOT maintained, and even if they have security issues or bugs, 
little or no effort would be made to fix or patch those.

(sad but true mode answer) add a <!> and tell them in a red box:
 	1.  chime in as to results
 	2.  do not rely on systematic security AT ALL on these
 		archives.
 	3.  add an outline to the page mentioend in a moment.

well stated.  Should be in every Release Note as well

 	4.  add a master wiki page to this effect?
