The root cause for the new update acceptance criteria was that there
where updates that broke systems. Now with the criteria enforced,
systems are broken worse according to the collection of bad update
examples, because of updates not being pushed to stable. This was
something that was always being highlighted as a potential problem iirc
and yet it happend.
