And again like every other parameter in Tezos it is subject to amendment if the community believes there is a strong ...

The testnet chain is only to validate the ability for the amendment to occur without any initial adverse effects to the network. These protocols should also run in parallel on a dedicated test chain as well, but it's up to the community/proposers to ensure this is setup and well tested. Testnets should probably run from before the amendments are even ...
