It has been an advertised feature for a very long time. Several comments
on bodhi said it would be capable of rejecting packages with broken
deps. Turns out it can't, because it's a feature that is not
implemented. And of course, rel-eng (or whoever approves the updates)
doesn't do any checking of broken deps at all. Imagine this: A package,
which has been broken for almost half a year, has passed review and has
been pushed into stable updates. No chance even to run extras repoclosure
when updates-testing can be skipped so easily.
