Karma?

[Brendan Jones]

If I -1 a package either pulled from bodhi or when it hits 
updates-testing, it does not stop it from getting pushed to stable

Perhaps I am not understanding the test system correctly. Am I right in 
assuming that us testers are really there for comments and the 
maintainer can just push whatever to stable regardless of karma obtained 
in -testing or otherwise?

Maybe I've got it wrong?

Two examples - are onboard and sunbird. I can understand sunbird - I'd 
push a buggy sunbird to fix thunderbird.
