How do you know who is a minority and who is not? I still wonder why
there are so many claims that the majority of Fedora maintainers or
users want to manually test all updates, but still the majority is not
involved in testing the updates. When the discussion started, it was
claimed that submitting karma was too complicated and took too much
time. This is not the case for several months, but still there are
updates that do not receive any karma for more than a month. The last
Bodhi statistics showed 595 unique karma submitters for F13 and there
seem to be 1035 approved packagers currently in Fedora. So if only
packagers submitted karma, it would be the majority. But since there are
a lotsmore users and also dedicated testers for Fedora, it does not look
like a majority anymore.
