If it isn't on the critical path list, just be careful you aren't 
breaking anything.  Sounds like this particular package isn't a risk. 
Might be helpful to mention in your rel-eng ticket.

Rel-eng is currently discussing what to do about the F12 update bodhi 
requests.  Some of us believe we enabled bodhi far too early and this is 
needlessly confusing people.  My own opinion is that queuing for updates 
at this point is detrimental to testing, because we will have a huge 
flood of packages hitting updates on release day that had almost zero 
testing.

For now don't worry about what you did in Bodhi.  It seems the Bodhi 
update requests are not going anywhere for the next few weeks.
