Packages form extra/community doesn't require testing before upload now. Packages in community even have no repo for testing, if someone upload core/extra library package in 'testing' TUs aren't able to pre-upload depending packages for community - when package uploaded to core/extra it breaks all community packages that depends on it. Since some time ago arch becomes rarely unstable distros. Even a half year ago i don't afraid of pacman -Syu, now i sure that it breaks something. I'm already switched to Fedora on some machines to get stability, if arch continues going this way, it will lost many users IMHO.
