No, thanks. The "popular"/"high profile" packages will get their usual
rushed +1 votes in bodhi (from people who even download from koji without
waiting for an entire package set to be published in a repo - from people
who regularly vote +1 even when something is clearly broken). And
less-popular packages will suffer.

If there is a volunteer tester, who also takes responsibility when not
noticing regression caused by an update, fine. If there is no volunteer,
who will lend the update submitter a second eye? Either there are
resources or there aren't.

Fedora Legacy, aka the barrel burst. More mandatory stuff, not enough
free resources => failure.
