I think this is _why_ we should change it.
Slippery slope alert. :)
We don't mean _any_ of that. We
mean "does this package update look good, or does it have bugs that should
block its release". Our use trivializes the term.
This is your view. You can say too that this is the very last mechanism, one of the most important ones, to avoid breakage in the distribution. ;-)
I think "update feedback" is perfectly clear and more descriptive.
I also do not think our use of the term is particularly special to Fedora.
I'm not sure if Slashdot popularized it, or if they just absorbed it from
somewhere else, but it definitely wasn't unique when we began using it.
Exactly, so the term "karma" is part of a shared culture since decades ago, and that makes it perfectly clear and descriptive.
Anyway, if you are uncomfortable with it... as you see fit. But please don't try to push on others that we are trivializing things.
Best,
Iñaki
