Hi folks!

I think doing this could really help us keep Rawhide solid and avoid introducing major compose-breaking bugs, at minimal cost. But it's a significant change and I wanted to see what folks think. In particular, if you find the existing gating of updates for stable/branched releases to cause problems in any way, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks folks!
One thing I forgot to mention in the original email, the benefit here isn't theoretical - I've already caught several Rawhide-breaking bugs early, or been able to identify the cause more easily, because we have the tests running in staging. Here's an example I just caught: a new popt version that was sent out today seems to break authselect, which is a critical problem and breaks all new installs:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2100287
if nirik catches my message in time before the next compose runs, he'll be able to untag the new build and the compose won't be completely broken. If we had this testing deployed in prod and gating turned on, the update would be blocked automatically.
It's been untagged from rawhide and eln.
