Indeed, what is the rationale for bohdi even allowing people to +1 their
own updates. Seems like it should be blocked, surely ?
Truth told, in our team(s), we use this "loophole" to save people time
in "paperwork".
I can only speak for myself, but when we do updates of several packages
at once, we _always_ coordinate/agree/pretest and all, way before the
new stuff hits Fedora.
While i understand the point of karma, i see very little use of going
around asking people to login/find the update/votes, etc. when can all
be coordinate and driven by one person.
Then again, I am not here to start another thread. I would simply like
to get a working version of sheepdog in F17 or somebody to retire the
package if nobody uses it anymore.
Thanks
