Koji Build System Priority - RESF Risk Mitigation
Jan 13, 2026 · technical · high75% confidence
Directed Nathan to prioritize Koji cluster standup with Dieter. Goal is to have independent build infrastructure in place so CIQ is not dependent on RESF. Asked for timeline if this became top priority, and indicated Dieter should reprioritize accordingly.

CVE Strategy - Eventually Consistent Model
Dec 29, 2025 · technical · high78% confidence
Aligned with Max on new approach to CVE patching: adopt an eventually consistent model that prioritizes rapid patching over perfect upfront testing. Accept a small error rate (e.g., 5%) as a necessary trade-off for speed, with fixes handled by COE.
