Right now I'm thinking that a packager should generally know if an update is a bugfix/security/etc update when they are building it. The issue right now appears to be the same as when we have a critical security or bugfix that has to be fast-tracked and we have LOTS of pkgs in updates-testing. I think we just need to formalize and have queues for that process. I wonder if I can organize a post-f13 FAD to implement this...
