yeah, please don't just drop it. if anyone wants to work with me/openQA
upstream/both to port it to something else, great, but we do need to
cover that usage.

note, we do have this update installed on all the openQA boxes, and
they're all working perfectly fine.

I generally agree with Matthew on the wider issue here; the update
process isn't really meant to catch every issue ever, and this bug
clearly doesn't break *all* jasper usage (see note about openQA being
fine), so the feedback could well be perfectly legit.

There really *is* an onus on developers as well as testers to provide
appropriate test instructions and to configure updates appropriately.
The autokarma threshold of 3 is only a *default*. Maintainers can make
the number larger or turn autopush off entirely for sensitive updates.

Also...I have the 'affected' jasper-libs on my F24 machine (a laptop),
and I just ran gnome-software on it, and it ran perfectly fine? It
runs, I can look at app pages (the screenshots render fine)...
