The system is never completely broken. And if there is a bug affecting many, 
it's our highest priority to push a fixed factory.

But e.g. a new kernel always bears a risk, same for new libzypp. We have a 
test suite and it succeeeds. This is of course no guarantee that it won't 
crash left and right ;(
