Indeed.

And actually, initially, Bodhi didn't allow direct stable pushes except for 
security updates. People complained a lot about that (and for good reasons, 
which are also being brought up in this thread) and so direct stable pushes 
got added. So why now try to go back to something that didn't work?

Yeah, it quite surprised me that I was the only one seeing a need for this 
feature in FESCo!
