See the quotes? Those are not my words, and I don't think I should
challenge the definition given by the person who implemented the idea.
We all agree on a simple fact: testing has security problems and in its
present status it can't be released (ergo your negative). The release
manger said that the infrastructure required to fix this is there, but
there are not volunteers to prepare security updates. As I understand
it, the release manager is saying that if you upload the pacakges to
the security incoming queue, they will make its way into testing (btw
AJ, thanks for the hint, I found the document which you so kindly
pointed me to).
