I'd be happy to revert this if the majority of people prefer the other
format. Bodhi will still use the n-v-r style URLs for the
updates-testing digests, but will default to the static IDs otherwise.
The biggest problem with using the builds in the URL is that the URLs break if they
are edited to add/remove/update them. I guess we could add some
additional logic to try and be clever and find the update even if one of
the builds is missing or modified.
Think about how bugzilla bugs are handled in IRC. Bugs all have ID
numbers. Why should updates be different? I vote for static IDs because
I have run into the case of modified updates and broken URLs.
Adam, can you not pursue an enhancement to the IRC bot that translates
bug URLs into descriptions to also handle bodhi IDs?
