Stop right here.  That the various FOR-RELEASE items are rated
differently does not mean that people think they are all unimportant.

Stop right here again.  That people don't chime in and shout "me too,
me too" whenever Richard says something does not mean that they are in
disagreement.  If people don't consider it necessary of having the
same old arguments repeated all over again by more than one person,
that does not mean that they have become less valid.

So please refrain from assigning opinions to developers at your whim.
Speak for yourself.
