Not that I like more bugs, but I wonder if it might be useful to have
two more tracker bugs:

* Compose breaking - Something that causes the compose to fail (ie,
makes it so a required deliverable isn't made)

and

* Basic release critera breaking - Something got through the automated
testing for whatever reason (we don't automatedly (is that a word) test
it yet, or the test wasn't complete or something).

The reason I think these might be useful is so we can look at them and
see what broke things in the past and slipped past tests so we can
improve them. Also, if we can upfront test some of the compose ones we
might have less failures.

Not a big deal, just a thought... (note that these would just be
trackers not blockers, since as you point out there is nothing to block. ;)

Can you file a fesco ticket on this and mark it 'meeting' so we get it
on the agenda?
