feel a need for it."
By-pass updates testing, sure. By-pass it without any karma votes, I
don't think so. If you've pushed a regression, and you want it fixed as
soon as possible, then it should be quite easy to find a couple people
to test the build and give karma status before it gets pushed to
-testing (once a dayish remember?) and thus it could go directly to
stable.
This is the problem with arguing about a proposal that hasn't even been
written yet. You latch onto the one part you assume will be there that
is the most unreasonable, and use that as a tool to bash the entire
concept of the proposal (which hasn't been written yet). I'm sure there
is a Latin phrase for this, I just don't know it.
