Hi,
There was some discussion almost a month ago under the subject title
"Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification: rp-pppoe" which didn't get
wrapped up.
In the interest of trying to wrap this up by making a specific
proposal,
I suggest changing the policy so that packages in updates-testing
which haven't got any VERIFY votes could:
- after 2 weeks, marked with a timeout
- after the timeout of 4 weeks [i.e., 6 weeks total] be
officially published
(And rp-pppoe and squid currently in updates-testing could be released
immediately upon the acceptance of this policy.)

1) officially forgetting the update, removing it from

some timeout (e.g., 6 weeks) and revising if someone complains it
doesn't work right.
I vote to just release them after a long timeout period. If there are
any issues, we can quickly fix them afterwards. We most often use
patches that came from upstream or from another distro anyway, so most
of them have already gone through QA.
It just doesn't make sense to have stuff in the updates-testing
directory for ever.
I don't have strong preference here, but I think 3) would probably be
best. If no-one wants to do (official) QA, we could just release the
update if it looks trivial, and fix it later if something is reported
to break.
I think that is a good idea.
Marc.
