However since we value proventester karma above all others, it was deemed only necessary to have one confirming karma beyond the proventester karma. This is how things worked throughout the F13 branched phase. There is a slight wrinkle in that right now, the bodhi code will automatically request a push of an item that reaches this karma threshold, and I don't believe there is a way yet to force it to wait for even greater amounts of karma. I believe that fine grained tuning of karma automation is planned for the next major version (and rewrite) of bodhi. > 2. libtiff.fc12 and libpng.fc12 are still lonely with zero karma.
