If there existed updates-urgent and updates-urgent-testing

patch-to-testing wait time was rather long; note that some people

avoided? Something like fast track in RHEL.

So, a small and fast couple of repos for really, really important
stuff. Unless I'm misunderstanding how repos work...

We worked on something like this last year:

https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5886

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Urgent_updates_policy

We concluded that we needed to use bodhi for it, and were unsure how
much bodhi work it would be to get it to be able to do this, so we went
looking for other easier wins.

Would it make sense to get *all* updates delivered faster to users instead?

Thanks,
Florian
