So to find those bugs, you'd need to do a search for 'bugs which | blocked F21AlphaBlocker / F21BetaBlocker / F21FinalBlocker once, but | don't any more', but Bugzilla doesn't have that option. | | We *could* make it so bugs that are rejected as blockers still block | the tracking bug (but just have the 'RejectedBlocker' whiteboard field | added), but I think that'd be confusing and a bad idea. Oh yes, its a bad idea to keep them in that state forever :). I was only suggesting to keep the bugs till it is reviewed. But anyway, since blockers are not pushed because of time constraint, that would make no difference either.
