For kernel updates this is probably not a good idea. Given that updates
potentially introduce regressions, being able to distinguish updates with
known CVEs that we do need to roll out immediately, versus other updates we
can do more compatibility testing on, is critical.

Even when there is a kernel regression a -1 vote gets immediately overvoted by
the +1s of majority so the update gets pushed anyway. So I do not see what is
the purpose of the voting at all. As an example:
	https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-3cd64d683c#comment-1258825
	 = kernel-5.5.6-201.fc31

Sure, but OP's proposal is to consider any kernel update as a security update. Right now we auto-apply security updates to our fleet but let users apply non-security updates at their own leisure.

(We do find it a bit painful that the repos only contain the initial version of a package plus the latest update, but that's a different discussion).

Best,
