You don't need to agree. In the reply you've truncated, I've only pointed
out how I feel about the updates flood. It's my number one reason why I've
pretty much given up spending karma points in bodhi as all too often an
update had been pushed before I could vote -1. Rushing out updates
defeats the purpose of Test Updates, IMO. And nothing is done to make
the updates-testing repo more sexy.
There are much simpler ways to deal with this, if it's really a
problem. The fact that updates default to auto-push after +3 karma is
entirely plucked out of the air, it's just something someone made up
one day. We could *certainly* change that. I'd be quite interested in a
tweak where there's a minimum-time-in-testing value for autopush too,
which would default to say 2 days. The way that would work is automatic
push would never happen until the update had actually been in updates-
testing (not queued for push) for that long. *Manual* push could still
be done during that time, and the update submitter could make the
minimum-time-in-testing value larger or smaller (as they can make the
karma threshold for autopush greater or smaller). 2 days would just be
the default (and is similarly a number I've just made up; we could make
it something else).
