updates policy for patch 'tuesdays':

Principle:

Updates should occur at regular intervals by and large. Not everyday and not haphazardly. Security and critical bugfixes should be issued asynchronously, but feature updates, new pkgs and non-critical bugfixes should be issued once a month for the duration of the distros supported lifetime.

specific rules:

1. security and critical bugfixes are issued asychronously. FULL STOP.
2. if the above require changes/rebuilds to other pkgs then those others pkgs will be included in the async update provided that:
     - if they are an update beyond a rebuild then they have passed a qa check
3. all other updates can be included in the monthly update push provided:
   a. they have passed testing karma checks
   b. they have passed autoqa checks
   c. <something here about the amount of churn and impacted examples>
   d. any other requirement fesco decides on.
