This update is the perfect example for how this new update policy is
completely broken and just cannot work.
Again, you're extrapolating way too far from a single problem case. The
problem is simply that we have the xorg-x11-drivers metapackage which
requires every single X driver and is in the critpath. There's various
ways we could adjust this so it's no longer the case. It's hardly
something that renders an entire policy invalid.
A bugfix is now being held up for almost a month just because
there's no
proventester with the required hardware.
The proventesters are not an immutable set. There's certainly people who
have the hardware - anyone with an XO, and I see enough of them at
FUDCons. All we need is for one of them to sign up to be a proventester.
This isn't impossible either.
