If you disable karma automatism for your updates, they will not 
automatically get promoted to stable upon critpath approval.

This is the workflow that occurs by default.

All critpath updates go to testing first, even if the maintainer chooses 
stable.  It's tested and approved, then bodhi automatically promotes it 
to stable.

This is the workflow that occurs when you disable karma automatism.

Your description of how the workflow "should" work is how the workflow 
works.
