I meant */updates, it's a typo.

</I>&gt;<i> So for managing the submit to updates_testing and the whole process, I

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
A balance between leaving it open for all, and not restricting it too
much so as not to make updating take more time, is needed, I think.

&gt;<i> Since ensuring that a update is a minimal change is (to me) a quality
</I>&gt;<i> issue, I propose to add to the QA list of things to check before
</I>&gt;<i> refusing a update :
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;it doesn't fullfill the requirement of minimal changes ( with
</I>&gt;<i> exceptions&quot;
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> But that requires QA people to have minimal packaging notions, which
</I>&gt;<i> could be a problem :/
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Again, nothing prevent people from the secteam to also be part of the QA
</I>&gt;<i> team.
