hum, that wasn't well publicised, and I wasn't aware of it. (I should
probably show up to more FESCo meetings...picture FESCo members going
'no, no, really, it's fine!') I'd disagree, for the reasons above.
Well, my thought on it is:
* As maintainer, shouldn't you be testing your updates already? Granted
there's often no way you could test everything, but at least
installing it and confirming the bug(s) you claim are fixed are
fixed?
* Having just one pair of eyes (even if they are exceptionally talented
ones) can lead to things slipping through. I know personally I have
messed up and tested something, confirmed the bug was fixed, then due
to one of: trying to clean up the commit before building without
another test cycle, testing on a machine with different package
versions, etc the update I push out is not the one that really fixes
the issues or introduces some other issue. Unless you have a really
really good test workflow this kind of thing can happen.
We can surely revisit this if folks like... but if we do, we might
consider for non critpath packages just re-enabling a 'push to stable',
as thats what it would allow with less clicking. ;)
