Huh? There has been at least 6 months between each FC release.

FC1 release: Nov 5 2003
FC2 release: May 18 2004
FC3 release: Nov 8 2004
FC4 release: Jun 13 2005
FC5 release: Mar 20 2006
FC6 release: Oct 24 2006

 I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Perhaps I misunderstood
 what the proposal is. My understanding is that there are new
 versions of software which supposedly repair security defects in
 something called testing. And that until they are tested by some
 volunteers, they remain there. I understand that the proposal is
 to institute a time limit such that if software resides in testing
 without any further testing actually being done, then it automatically
 enters released after a set time period.

That is correct. However, if the necessary QA votes get published
before the timeout hits, the package will be released sooner.

  very self service project.  You get out of it what you put into it.

 More accurately, I get out of it what I pull from the repositories.

And by not contributing any QA yourself, you can not expect to get any
QA besides what the original packager put into the release. Which is
good enough if we can't get enough QA votes to release it before the
proposed timeout hits. If it's not good enough for you, I suggest that
you QA these packages yourself.

 I'd like to get  check out updates that have not been approved.

 How do I set up the yum.conf on my FC1 system to get these updates?

Add this to your yum.conf:

[updates-testing]
gpgcheck=1
name=Fedora Core $releasever updates testing
baseurl=http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/$releasever/updates-testing/$basearch
