While I welcome those changes, I don't understand why we need to make the update rules to be enforced by Bodhi more and more complicated (and in fact, too complicated for Bodhi to implement correctly, there are already several corner cases in which the implementation in Bodhi differs from what FESCo requested) when we could just ask maintainers for a bit of common sense and do without any software enforcement. As you're seeing from all those proposals being floated for various special cases, there are many factors to consider in the tradeoff between getting important fixes out quickly and getting changes tested. I think there's a lot to gain from being flexible. No hardcoded policy will do the right thing in all cases. This thread is just one of the many cases where it goes wrong. Homo sapiens sapiens has an organ called the "brain", which is very effective at making decisions. We have many of those available, one per maintainer. Why not use this processing power for decision making? Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
