I would like to collect feedback on this issue. If you want to
disable
direct stable pushes, why? Could there be a less radical solution to that
problem (e.g. a policy discouraging direct stable pushes for some specific
types of changes rather than a blanket ban)? On the other hand, if (like me)
you DON'T want that feature to go away, please provide valid use cases.
Stable pushes are useful for new packages, particularly "non-core"
new packages.
Also many, many packages get precisely no comments in Bodhi, even
allowing for two weeks of so-called testing.
In general, FESCo should trust packagers to do the right thing, and
encourage people to test the packages in updates-testing and provide
feedback to Bodhi.
