I think they're *clearly* different when it comes to delaying the release. If a bug is not currently affecting anyone, delaying stops it from becoming a user problem. If a bug is already a user problem, delaying doesn't help those people — and just hurts everyone else who would benefit from the release. > Because if we accept new problem A as a blocker, but waive problem B > because it has already existed for some time, even though they have > completely equal impact on users, then without any other means to push for > B resolution during the lifetime of the fedora release, it's very likely > that the problem will not get fixed. Do you see PrioritizedBugs as an > efficient way to help this? Or something else? Prioritized Bugs is one avenue. I'm open to other suggestions. I think in general packagers and maintainers *do* care about the kinds of bugs that are likely to be in this situation. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
