Bodhi would need to be changed first.
So far, what some package maintainers do is to wait for a first +1, then
edit the bodhi ticket to replace the builds, and that doesn't reset the
current karma level to zero. The new builds may be completely broken.
I'm not aware of any case of a maintainer doing this intentionally, if
that's what you're suggesting. Editing updates with new builds is a
reasonably common action and there are perfectly legitimate reasons to
do it. I thought the bug where Bodhi doesn't reset karma when you do
this was supposed to be getting fixed...
