Thank you for showing that you do not understand our repository policy.

All [core] packages go to [testing] first to ensure that we do not
completely break anyone's system. This has happened before and funnily
enough it happened with a kernel that did not boot for anyone. Because
of this [testing] has been created. You really managed to come up with
the best example here.

I am not sure on which planet you live and how many hours a day has for
you, but on Earth those packages have been in testing for roughly 7
hours (2017-04-28 07:57 UTC and 2017-04-28 08:17 UTC).

As for the reasoning, see above.

While this specific suggestion is correct, the way it has been presented
here and in the past is not. Context matters, and if you annoy people
they will stop listening to you.

I have put you on moderation. If you continue annoying us like this
there will be further consequences. Consider this your final warning.
There will not be another.
