You will also notice that kernels do not push with autokarma or auto
time based push to stable for exactly this reason. Sometimes the
number of bugs fixed are worth pushing through a regression that is
hitting just a few users. I look at every single response. There are
kernels which do not get pushed to stable due to feedback.  For any
non rawhide kernel to be pushed to stable, we read the feedback, make
the call and have to go manually click the button to push it,
intentionally.
