There's a kind of "surprising" property of the critical path list too -
it contains some things you might not expect.

We have "critical path" groups for lots of desktops, including ones
that aren't release-blocking: deepin, lxde, lxqt, and xfce. The logic
here is approximately: things that are critical to those desktops are
indeed critical to users of those desktops, and don't affect anybody
else. So it makes sense to put them on the "critical path", because to
the relatively small subset of users who *do* use those desktops, the
updates really *are* critical, and it doesn't hurt users of any other
desktop for them to be held up.

Still, we might not want to enforce 2FA requirements for those
packages.

This would be another good reason to make the critpath definition more
sophisticated - keeping track of which critpath groups a package is
part of. Which I still would like to work on in some of my copious
spare time...sigh.
