Updates which are never pushed to stable

Hello,

I noticed that for multiple release we have updates which stuck in bodhi for
many months until distro goes EOL.

I wonder if we should just auto-unpush updates which are in testing in 1(?)
month? Thoughts?

I don't think having them sit in testing hurts anything but my OCD...

I would be in favor of a phased approach to EOL where new updates are
stopped a week or two before everything is fully closed so I would have an
opportunity to push the ones already in testing to stable.

Thanks,
Richard

It's a PITA when creating other packages, you don't know if you can target testing state or if it will never be pushed to stable

I agree with autopush packages in updates-testing, between mass branch
and final release. After GA (general availability), I think is legit 
have thing in testing. 
I wrote about this subject some years ago, I'll explain what I thought,
in phase of betas some people (like me) may enable update-testing to
test more quickly the new fixes and after release they (and I) disable
the update-testing which leaves that systems with packages that never
hit the stable.

But dnf distro-sync fix this issue ... so maybe isn't a problem .
