- Should this be rawhide only? That would avoid 'trivial' patches that
cause a problem from affecting users that aren't as able to debug
them.
Probably (or perhaps it could be up to the provenpackager applying the patch, but with rawhide-only being the expected default).
So far it's up to the individual who applies a patch (and the
maintainer), whether he pushes an update to non-rawhide.
Experience tells, this rarely is an actual problem.
One of the reasons the owner might not have immediately applied the patch is that the situation is more complex than it seems (though in that case commenting on the bug report would have been desirable), so we should be somewhat careful about shipping changes preapred by non-experts to end-users. Restricting to rawhide would give us more time and freedom to discover and fix undesirable side effects, if any.
I guess, you are aware that all non-rawhide package pushes currently go
through a at minimum 1 week delay in updates-testing, which should give
interested/affect users sufficient time to intervene in case something
was missed?
Experience also tells here, this rarely is an actual problem.
