With the understanding that you're not specifically asking me that
question, I'd say that I'd prefer to first try to automate checks for
the most frequent update issues:

* Causes broken deps
* Breaks clean upgrade path between releases
* Has ABI/API change (and is a Critical Path package)
* Fails to pass any package specific sanity tests (as written by either
the maintainer, QA, rel-eng, or qualified contributors)

AutoQA has the potential to do this. I'd rather see energy and effort
spent on taking out these low hanging fruit. If, after that, we're still
having broken updates pushed directly to stable, then I'd be willing to
consider a policy with an enforced delay in "testing".
