Another main source of this issue is autokarma. IMHO, autokarma should NEVER 
be used (and should be dropped from Bodhi entirely), because it inherently 
breaks upgrade paths. (The solution for that would be to group the updates 
across releases and use one global karma value to trigger the pushes for all 
releases, but FESCo vetoed that approach. As long as this is not done for 
political reasons, autokarma will remain totally unsafe and unusable.)

Unfortunately, the Bodhi developers are almost forcing everyone to use 
autokarma by not fixing these web UI bugs for over a month:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/1032
https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/1033
(and note that #1033 is about a non-working fix for the almost 10-month-old 
#772 – they took 8½ months to deploy a non-functional "fix") and not 
supporting editing existing updates from the CLI:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/1125

If people were ensuring that manual pushes are actually workable again, and 
if we would then start strongly discouraging (or ideally outright banning) 
autokarma, we would NOT have as many broken upgrade paths.
