ship and support a single stream of updates for all products, editions
and spins. The only way that the WG could stop or control any update
for a package not owned by the WG is to provide enough negative karma
to an update in Bodhi to force it to not be ppushable. I would really
hope that people would not do that to keep updates out, and would
instead have a open honest discussion to try figure out a acceptable
path forward. Any change to how we do updates would require
significant changes in many parts of how we manage the ditro and update
process. It would need discussions with Release Engineering and
Infrastructre, that came with resources to support the work.
