I do tend to think we should try and not release broken packages. That is
something that annoys lots (myself included) when RedHat releases a package
that breaks something critical (such as process accounting).

I would propose the following:

after two PUBLISHes, the package goes to updates-testing as current

If this is a critical hole (say, a remote exploit), we immediately release the
package to updates

If the hole is not as critical, then we go through the normal QA process. Two
VERIFYs are after some period of time (say one week) with no objections, the
package goes to updates
