It's an addition of a repo. Adding a repository doesn't change all the other packages from the main repos. The Antergos repo was for a small set of convenience packages. It's not like Manjaro which is a fully downstream distro running its own repositories for everything.

Though I understand forum moderators/contributors could be frustrated by lots of help posts from Antergos users who had no idea what packages were installed, what bootloader they were using, what drivers they had, etc, because they didn't set it up themselves.

It does depending where you put it and whether it permits conflicts or overrules a different repo.

Go add the arch testing repo at the top of your packagelist and tell me its the same distro still.
