IOW a problem that was not visible in staging projects made it into
Factory. It causes the KDE panel and GNOME to crash. Of course with
manual override it would be possible to publish such a broken Factory
but that would defeat the purpose of those tests. We'd allow the problem
to hit Factory users then. So there's a chance to become hero of the
week by debugging and fixing the problem :-)
