There's two problems with that: 1) The critpath can be broken by non-critpath packages, because our critpath definition is really not *close* to correct. It's just a list we made up one day and have not done a great job of updating since. It is not in any way 'validated'. Until recently, it didn't have bash, setup or selinux-policy in it, for instance. 2) Critpath packages can be broken in ways that don't break the critical path. selinux-policy is a great example there, in fact; a -1 for an selinux-policy update *could* mean "this update renders all systems unbootable", or it *could* mean "this update broke some obscure leaf package two people are running". > If we do think there's a good reason to keep two kinds of karma for the > glorious feature, perhaps we could just hide the critpath karma feedback > buttons in the UI for now just so they don't get confused with the > normal karma, which can lead to some issues since it doesn't really do > anything.
