IMHO the whole discussion lacks "scientific methods" or common sense,
e.g. there are no hard facts presented about how each proposal would
influence the updates process. E.g. there are no numbers about how many
broken updates from testing to stable happend, how often updates are
directly pushed to stable, how many people to use updates-testing of
F11, F12 and F13? There are nearly no facts, so everyone is just
guessing and many people are just ignoring objections. E.g. several
proposals require a certain amount of karma, but nobody seems to care,
that packages do (did) not get that much comments. And instead of first
improving the amount of comments, before taking the next step, it's just
ignored. This improved with my script for F12 and F13, but the only
available metrics say that the overall amount of comments has increased,
but still it is unknown how many packages are how well covered.
