There really isn't any great helpful way to do this, you just have to handle it yourself, unfortunately. > AutoQA and taskotron are basically useless, because the breakage only > occurs if the fc22 update is marked stable before the fc23 update, > and > taskotron is done before that's even possible. > > Would it make sense to have a composite update type that targets > multiple releases, where (a) newer targeted releases must be marked > stable before older targeted releases and (b) the bugzilla bug is > closed once all of the targetted releases are pushed?
