Another thing I mean to do is to patch fedora-easy-karma to allow people 
to blacklist packages from their update list. Too many people voting 0 
and just say "not tested" right now.

Adam, any idea whether this is a good idea or not? On one hand we want 
people to say "hey, I install this update and my machine still boots" 
because that's at least (slightly) informative. But I wonder how many 
testers we lose by the tedium of seeing the same package over and over 
again (and yet the packages come with the base system and are rather 
tedious to remove -- X drivers, RAID utilities and so on)
