I agree with this. We really don't want to inject the spof that we had previously. But we do need a sane mechanism for this. I wonder if some sort of shadow catalog (dublin-shadow) that allowed direct push might work. Then, a publish mechanism like we have for unstable -> dublin could be used. > We potentially could do something like it. It would introduce more > complexity to the way we operate catalogs.

We don't (ever, I think) want a direct push to a published 'stable' catalog. There should always be a level of indirection and the ability to have all changes to a stable catalog publicly vetted.
