Because if we block/unpush/whatever updates based on a single report of
brokenness, all Joe Evil Cracker needs to do to break into your machine is
to wait for a security issue in OpenSSH or some other security-critical
software, report the security update as "broken" and then exploit the hole.
There would also be other kinds of vandals or jokesters who'd incorrectly
report updates as "broken" just for fun.
