Usually the testing repo is for testing stuff. Ever since I'm abusing
it for moving into it parts that replace RHEL/CentOS packages it has
been redefined a bit as no real "testing" items make it into it much
these days.

I would enable it, see what yum update wants to do and judge on
that. After you're done, disable it again, to be safe in the future if
the repo's meaning returns back.
