I do not argue with that, I'm just saying (ranting) that, knowing 102
likely breaks installed addons, it seems to me that at least an
announcement on devel list prior to push it into a stable release would
have been appreciated.

Moreover, thunderbird in on the critical path update list; Bodhi
requires 14 days of testing for those packages, but it is set to require
only +2 karma, so packagers easily bypass the testing phase, like it is
clearly happened here (pushed to stable just after 5 hours). I think
critpath updates should spend more time in testing, maybe we should
increase the critpath min karma to, at least, +5.
