I'm in the habit of queuing for N and N-1 in a single bodhi request.  Is
this addressed by any of our existing or proposed update policies?

It seems to cast doubt on the value of karma -- just because something
gets lots of positive karma on N doesn't mean that N-1 is ok.  Then
again, the same concern is present in any grouped update if the voters
haven't tried *all* of the packages mentioned.
