Except karma requirements (which were in force due to the critical path

delays the fix for the regression. (But thankfully, direct stable pushes are
still possible for KDE packages, which allowed us to do one to fix this
regression quickly.)
You are definitely missing the forest for the trees here. In the
proposals I've seen, the was no mandate that an update spend a week in
testing, provided it got enough karma before that. If the issue at hand
is so egregious to need a push ASAP, then there should be plenty of
people on hand to snag the update from koji and provide you the
necessary karma nearly immediately.
