I don't think anyone expects perfection, but when breakage goes so far as to
encourage users to petition against an update being marked stable we might
want to reconsider deploying. Not doing so reflects poorly on Fedora as a
project to users in that our update policy looks dangerous to them and
discourages testers from reporting problems since their experience will be
that they are being ignored.
