Hi again folks!

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_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.

Comments, thoughts, questions as always - thanks folks!
