Please avoid manual modification to the 'tested' repo

After working to make the new 'fluentd' package available to
'experimental' we noticed it kept on failing.

This morning I looked into the logs and found out it was failing
because 'reposync' was getting 404 errors on downloading 'qemu-kvm-ev'
and other packages from the 'tested' repo.

I restored the missing packages from 'experimental' and the errors went away.

Looking deeper into this I found the following in the history file on resources:

   find /var/www/html/repos/ovirt/tested/master/rpm/el7/ -name
"qemu-kvm*"|xargs rm -f

I'm sure who did this meant well, but this just broke stuff, and at a
time where we are desperately trying to make things stable again.

Please avoid touching the 'tested' repo manually, the creation
processes for it are rather complex for various reasons (Wost of which
have to do with enabling it to be usable while still constantly adding
updates to it).
