I just have another idea: Add the karma value to the repository
metadata and write a yum plugin to only install packages with a certain
amount of karma. I just checked that stable packages may still receive
karma, so then everyone can pre-select packages based on the karma. And
people for whom the current system works good enough, can disable it.
And security updates could still be installed using the yum-security
plugin.
Given the interdependencies between updates, I'm not sure that's really
practical. What happens when (theoretically) new thunderbird is +3
but the new xulrunner it depends on is -3?
