Feel free to do that if you think it will help. I think using severity in this way was a bit of a quick-and-dirty hack. Maybe a usertag would have been better. > Especially the GnuTLS stuff goes way over my head, I'm afraid. And most people's I think. That's why these are long-term issues that don't see much progress. It seems far too late to make any changes related to GnuTLS for this release anyway. But nevertheless they remain important issues (which is why using severity in this way is not great). Of the important ones, the only ones I would like to see fixed are: 18334 18444 Neither is truly important, and both could be left unfixed at no great loss for 24.4, but I think someone should at least have a go... If there are other issues people would like to draw attention to, they should do so here I guess. This release is really dragging...
