Dear centos-devel'ers, The strategy to release testable rpms to dev.centos.org, then request feedback and move the rpms to stable, when we have enough positive - isnt working. We're not getting that feedback, either positive or negative.

So the issue :
The CentOS Project provides packages in addition to the packages from RH's sources. We need to ensure that these packages are tested in a user environment for a while, and only released to the public via the mirror.centos.org network once there is some reasonable surety as to the functional and bugs situation with the package.
Instead of blocking on (lack-of) feedback, I'd suggest considering something like: 1. Put pkgs in "testing" 2. If no bugs reported after X days/weeks, move out of testing
At least this way nothing gets perpetually stalled in testing.
