In practice, the release team has to do this at various points in the
release cycle anyway because the transitions become so entangled that
breaking something in testing, or removing a bunch of packages that we
intend to release with, are the only options. This approach at least
ensures that testing will remain installable and (presumably) useful during
the rocky transitions, merely requiring a bit of cleanup of old packages.
