I only know of a single instance where it didn't in an update I pushed, and
that was due to another maintainer (not giving a name because it doesn't
matter) screwing up the 0{%?fedora} conditionals for a dependency (he used
string comparisons and "9" > "10"). (And that maintainer was the one who
wanted that package edited into a Qt update group. I didn't arbitrarily push
other people's changes, I was asked to.) We both knew beforehand that the
dependency needed to be conditional, it was just that the conditional was
screwed up. That packager is not going to make that mistake again. :-) (And
I wouldn't have made it myself in the first place.) Out of the many updates
I pushed, that's something in the order of fractions of a percent.
