this does not help anything if there are fatal bugs reported which
stops boot like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843826
and ignored in a way that since yesterday kernel 3.5 is in stable
repos for F17
1) Ticket history reveals that there has been a very quick response
by davej:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_activity.cgi?id=843826
So, your bug report has not been ignored, albeit reassigned to a
different component without any comment. Hot potatoe...
In retrospect, I cannot tell whether davej should not have submitted
3.5.0-2.fc17 as a test update three days later, knowing that 3.5.0-1.fc17
causes problems. It looks like there is disagreement about the problem
you've reported.
2) You could have left negative karma on the test-update:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-11323/kernel-3.5.0-2....
3) Nobody claims that the current way Fedora Testing is done, would
be bullet-proof. IMO, it's a known problem that some updates are rushed
out and should spend much more time in testing.

This update has been pushed to testing
bodhi - 2012-08-01 21:44:56
This update has reached the stable karma threshold and
will be pushed to the stable updates repository
This is ridiculous! One of Fedora's weak spots. :-(
This particular kernel is also an example of a "karma fight" within bodhi,
with several testers ignoring the guidelines, unfortunately:

They voted +1, compensating previous -1 votes. :-(
