In that case I'd favour a formula along the lines of "X reports of

update can go out even if several people report encountering regressions
is one of the biggest flaws in the current setup. Any report of
'regression found' should prevent an auto-push.
So that's just separating aggregate positive karma from aggregate
negative karma. Basically saying that your update must have a net +3
positive, without /any/ negative.
Unfortunately many people fail at understanding what "regression"
actually means, and thus can "DOS" an update inappropriately, which is
kind of why we've aggregated both negative and positive together.
