No. I am simply expecting these guys to do their job, them not to push 
broken updates and them to have tools in place which prevent obvious 
cases like these. I am also expecting the people in charge to show up 
and take responsibility. I am also expecting them to analyse the cause 
to prevent such cases from happening again.

Fedora is not in the situation 10 years ago. They do have tools in place 
(Or at least claim to have them) which should prevent cases like these.

If you check timestamps, you'll notice that
- they pushed the sqlite update more than 12 hours after the firefox update.
- they pushed the sqlite update several hours after people started to 
complain about the broken firefox update on this list.
- The sqlite update did not go through the usual Fedora QA-process.

In other words, as things appear, somebody was firefighting after the 
broken update had gone public.
