I also agree that the issue of flags doesn't really come into the issue of how we process blockers; the fact that currently we do it almost entirely synchronously in a meeting isn't really anything to do with whether we use flags or not, it's just...how we do it. We could easily do it async at the moment with comments, but we just don't. Overall, though, I'm fine with this idea. As I said last time we discussed it, my principal objection is that it hurts our efforts to get people to buy into the process in the short term, but I can live with the idea that in the long-term the benefits will be enough to counteract that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
