The problem is that mindless enforcement isn't always a good idea. For
example, once the breakage happened, pushing the fixed version directly to
stable was the *right* thing to do. (It was a serious regression, it needed
fixing as quickly as possible.) And he actually submitted it for testing
first, but then changed it to stable before a push actually happened,
certainly based on positive feedback. But pushing the previous update (the
one which caused the regression) directly to stable was the mistake.
