Slow isn't the same thing as stable, I think we need to remember that.

I was thinking this too. Many package I use/maintain have a small
user-base. So, the likelyhood of Karma happening is nil. In Fedora
it doesn't happen, and in EPEL I am nearly positive it won't.
which is why I suggested the automatic push (unless the package
exhibited problems and received negative karma) after 3 months. which is
half the release cycle of the main distro.
