This is not correct. The current policy says nothing about critpath
updates requiring no negative votes. Bodhi prior to 8.2 had some wacky
logic which did treat negative votes on critpath updates a bit
differently, but didn't flat out block them for negative votes. As of
8.2 it does not treat negative votes on critpath updates at all
differently, which is in line with what the policy says. (In fact the
*only* difference between critpath and non-critpath in the current
policy is that critpath updates after Beta freeze must wait 14 days if
they don't reach the karma threshold; non-critpath must only wait 7
days).

Theoretically an update can be pushed stable with *any* karma, so long
as it has reached the minimum wait threshold in updates-testing.
Updates that reach their negative karma threshold (which defaults to -
3, but is entirely configurable, you *could* set it to -10000 if you
liked) get automatically unpushed, but that's not the same as meaning
they're blocked; a maintainer *could* push an update that had hit its
negative threshold back to u-t manually, wait the specified number of
days, then push it stable.

The policy is, perhaps, more permissive than is usually assumed,
because our maintainers tend to be trustworthy folks who listen to the
signal sent by negative feedback and address it, rather than just
finding ways to ignore it and press onwards.
