When we setup critpath it was a collection of packages that were critical to the things we were shipping, so we could have higher requirements on these things in the updates system and possibly someday run more tests on them, etc.

Right now:

• Updating critpath is broken. The script that pulls packages from comps doesn't work and depends on yum.

• Updating critpath is manual. It takes someone to remember to do it, which no one does.

• Updating critpath hasn't happened in a long time. (due to the above)

• critpath reflects the critical packages... as of Fedora 20 (before we started doing the products). So, we have critpath groups for all the desktops that were on the install dvd (which we no longer make) and nothing at all for cloud or server or atomic or docker or anything related to those.

So, we need to:

• Fix generation of packages for critpath.

• Fix the data it uses so it reflects the things we actually want to be critpath.

• Automate it so it updates without humans being involved.
