Testing is simple as it's most about checking that they install correctly...

If you use a hardware that are affected by the updates/downgrades and something stops working (or starts working better :) )

the same firmwares have been available in cauldron for ~1 month...

mga2, 64bits, updates is ok, rt73 (so from rtlwifi) working fine, no regression
Comment 2 David GEIGER 2012-12-29 09:32:47 CET 
Testing complete for kernel-firmware-nonfree-20121030-1.mga2 on Mageia release 2 (Official) for x86_64, for me it's Ok and nothing to report.Everything seems to work very well.

from Mageia 2 nonfree updates testing to nonfree updates.
