From what I can tell, it looks like the -90 update got 'auto-pushed' by
hitting +3 karma, despite the fact that two people had reported the
regression in Bodhi. This is a classic case of 'works for me' positive
feedback overriding 'there's a regression!' feedback, which is one of
the issues we're trying to fix with the proposals to improve Bodhi.
For now, might I suggest disabling auto-push for kernel updates?
Even more fun, the request was initially submitted and told to ignore
karma for auto-push, but the initial submission had an incorrect bug
number in it. Went in to fix that, and apparently didn't notice that
bodhi had helpfully decided to re-enable the auto-push check box when
all I wanted to do was fix a bug number. (in other words, "edit"
doesn't properly honor the current settings of the ticket).
