For the record, I did test (on one release) the latest bunch of updates I
pushed before pushing them out to stable. But sometimes a fix is very urgent
and trivial so I'll just take anyone's word that it works (or if the change is
really really trivial, e.g. a fixed Requires which can be verified to be
satisfied just by looking at the Rawhide report and noticing there's no broken
dependency, not even that) and issue it directly to stable (and I think that's
a good thing and the new process which will make this a PITA is going to
degrade our overall package quality by delaying urgent fixes). And for stuff
like the KDE updates, I know many people, including other KDE SIG members,
test them, so I usually don't spend my time testing those updates as well, the
testing feedback we get is largely sufficient.
