[16:17:55] <red_alert> many of those ON_QA bugs have been VERIFIED
before bodhi changed it back [to ON_QA]...do we need to re-test those?


[16:19:47] <jlaska> red_alert: I think that's a really good discussion
for the list.  kparal mentioned that earlier, let's discuss it there so
others can benefit as well

I've often seen people setting the status back to VERIFIED in such a
case but I'm not exactly sure if that's the best possible behavior.

So, does it make sense to re-test fixes because the newly pushed version
might have broken things again or do we generally assume that fixes
included in older versions are still working in newer versions?

IMHO it doesn't make sense to re-test again. There'll always be newer
versions and we can't always re-test every bug with every new version.

+1 for just setting back to VERIFIED again
