Yes, it clearly did. It avoided automatically introducing a few 
regressions, and for the bugfixes I cared about (and for which I 
reviewed the diff), I requested syncs from unstable.

Obviously the drawback of auto-from-testing/manual-from-unstable is the 
additional review/sync processing for the AA team. If we generally 
replace that to allow regular committers to be able to trigger sync from 
unstable, then I think we have the best of both worlds.
