I've seen that advise come up sometimes from a package maintainer. Can
this be assumed to mean (as I'm sure some will assume it to mean) that
its safe to cherry-pick just mkinitcpio from testing? Or does the tester
need to 'know' to -Syu from testing totally?

Nothing specifically at you, Thomas, more a general question (hence I'm
changing the title, its a different thread).
