I didn't look at that in any technical detail but conceptually it seems
kinda wrong to me. The problem with using any existing system is that
all existing systems are *for* something. Bodhi is for dealing with
updates. There's no reason why Bodhi would track, for instance, whether
34 is under a string freeze, right? Because Bodhi doesn't have anything
to do with translations. There are a zillion other 'states' that it
would be useful to have info on which aren't relevant to any *one*
existing system, and that's why to me it makes sense to have a separate
thing for that.
The other problem that comes from this is:
When we are 'go' for a new release, we start pushing '0-day' updates.
Usually this is the day after the 'go' decision and a week or two ahead
of the actual release. At that point bodhi thinks the release is
"released", even though it is not.
