I didn't quite say it was a bad idea.  It was more of a "hm.  we shouldn't
have enabled them yet."  I also said I blamed myself.  Hindsight is 20/20.

Right.  It would be basically a reset.

That seems like too big of a leap for me to take personally.  People file
updates-testing tickets to get any testing at all quite a bit of the time.

I'm not leaning either way on the tagging.  My primary concern is that we
have a very large queue of updates that is ever growing and not being
mashed or published at all.  Combine that with auto-obsolete being disabled
and that means that we're going to have an abnormal amount of pain for the
first push.  Also, we aren't doing that first push until after F12 has
basically been staged to the mirrors (per my brief conversation with Jesse)
due to buildroot polution concerns.

All of that seems to make me think that we shouldn't have people submitting
updates yet.
