That's not necessarily true. The packager might build for F16, F17, and F18,
say, but not actually have all those systems to test on (even in a VM). So karma
would in fact give additional information. IMO packagers should be treated the
same as anyone else regarding karma. If they abuse the privilege, it can be
taken away individually, the same as any other tester.
