what about "push to batched": How is this currently handled? Current docs say: "... waiting until the next Tuesday when Bodhi will automatically switch the request to "stable" at 03:00 UTC." [1] Is this still only on the next Tuesday? During the last package updates, which I pushed to batched, it turned out that it was the always next day at 03:00 UTC.
"Push to batched" is currently soft-disabled. (It was too much work at the time we disabled it to actually remove it from Bodhi). FESCo determined that the way it was implemented and the policy around it was not meaningful, so right now "push to batched" just means that an automated script automatically marks it for stable just before the stable push automated run.
The short version of that discussion was that because we still allowed people to push directly to stable if they felt it was early enough, certain packagers who had ideological differences with the batched plan were just ignoring it and always pushing it stable immediately, thereby eliminating the stated benefit of not updating repodata and mirroring every day. We had two choices: make "batched" mandatory for all updates or disabled the batching. FESCo elected to take the latter approach at the time.
