Glad you mention dnssec-conf. 1) It only received votes, because one of releases broke things badly and because Paul F. loudly asked the public to test. 2) Recent dnssec-conf updates all did receive several -1, nevertheless these updates were pushed. 3) dnssec-conf-1.21-8.fc12.noarch does not work for me, it's as broken as its predecessors for me. => This system doesn't work. > So the system does, in fact, work, in so far as it gives us > a usable indication of very bad breakages. IMO, only on occasions the damage already has happened (dnssec-conf). The vast majority of packages gets pushed without any votes.
