If you know the current package is broken then direct pushing by using
your own testing & karma is no chating.
Adding karma without testing is cheating, but if you already know that
the current package is seriously broken and that the same update in
other Fedora versions works fine then "cheating" is better than nothing.
Unfortunately it is disallowed (not technically blocked though) under
the current update rules to give your own update a +1 karma. I at least
partially tried to change this rule but I did not get enough votes from
other FESCo members for this change.
