The latest version of the sunbird calendar fails to start, giving the message: $ Sunbird Cannot find Calendar runtime directory. Exiting. This is reported in bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633083 with a very simple patch.
BTW: The same bug (mutatis mutandis) was reported in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558307 Where is QA when we need them?

Yes, sunbird on Fedora always seem to be broken in some trivial-to-fix-but-annoying way.

I only test Thunderbird, but Thunderbird and Sunbird usually get pushed in a single update[2] so my positive karma for TB also affects Sunbird. You can fight my positive karma with your negative karma. :)

It seems pretty clear that this seems to be standard practice. I reported a similar bug and registered negative karma and the set was pushed anyway. Even though sunbird was completely broken. I also told them what was wrong, how to fix it, and suggested a change in the build system, since I had seen the same bug introduced twice and didn't see a prompt response with a fixed update.

What?! IMHO, you should not give positive karma if you only tested an update set partially. The brief and even missing comments in that update ticket also leave much to be desired.
Both packages in that ticket do need testing. Fedora has suffered before from updates that have been rushed out without sufficient testing. In cases where at least the package maintainer(s) ought to have strong interest in positive feedback from multiple people or in good results for specific tests. We can't fix that if we continue with delivering updates that aren't ready.
