Bodhi is nice, yes. But people are not using it that much. Even packages
with a broader usage width are getting less to no karma points. And there
is no reflection into Bugzilla if something not works. Because if something
not works, that is likely a bug - why are such things only kept in Bodhi
but not noted as bug report?

Anyway, bodhi only refers to updates-testing. Can't we unpull packages from
updates fast once the karma gets negative? I'm still not happy, that there
was such a slow reaction for the dbus/PackageKit breakage...the interaction
from bodhi to the results on the mirrors seems to be currently ~ 48 hours
when looking to my last phpMyAdmin security update (or is therefore just
our scheme of how to handle security updates responsible?). The package for
EPEL of phpMyAdmin made it into the mirrors much faster as on Fedora.


Greetings,
