So for now, that's always going to be a problem. We will have a guide for what issues should be what levels once this goes live. For now you should ignore priority / severity settings entirely, no-one is paying any attention to them, there's no suggestion the current settings for any bug are remotely correct (and medium/low is just the default, IIRC). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
