Normal updates generally remain in `current-testing` until they have been sufficiently tested by the community, which can weeks or even months, depending on the amount of feedback received (see [Providing Feedback]). "Sufficient testing" is, in practice, a fluid term that is up the developers' judgment. In general, it means either that no negative feedback and at least one piece of positive feedback has been received or that the package has been in `current-testing` for long enough, depending on the component and the complexity of the changes.
