So it sounds like this option was preferred by everyone who expressed a preference, and it's my choice too, so I figure we should just go for it. I think we still have some more research/discussion/co-ordination to do before we can propose changes to the release process (especially the go/no-go process) to 'enforce' special blockers, but I think we can go ahead and implement the *tracking* side of the changes now. So I'm gonna propose that we add these new terms for the Whiteboard field: Accepted0Day (for bugs where the fix must appear in 0-day updates for the new release) AcceptedStable (for bugs where the fix must appear in updates for the previous stable release(s) by release day of the new release) I'm not 100% married to either of those, especially the second. If anyone has a better idea, please send it! Once we decide on the terms, the next step would be to edit the blocker SOPs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - the changes shouldn't be too onerous - and to update blockerbugs for the new world order. I know tflink has a lot on his plate, so I might take a cut at that to try and save him the work.
