From=20my experience working on other projects: there comes a time when peo= ple start noticing that "blocking" bugs get fixed sooner than other bugs, so th= ey start adding things they "think should be fixed", without asking whether it= 's truly a blocking bug. At Borland we called it "Priority 0"; and guess what happened: nearly every new bug started getting assigned priority 0, because for a while they were = the only bugs we were paying attention to. Periodically the blocking list needs recalibration, to return it to its original purpose. I'd say please unblock every bug you mentioned. =2D-=20 John Wiegley GPG fingerprint =3D 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJXNgHCAAoJEMFE2PTxn+Yw9+wMAJnPOyDeKHQLLdisOaH9GS6N d9zhqTnIuLik5YbSK342MMa3bJgntrdCFIOR6SKRWP5vfvGI2Leh0a+ZcIp+MLuw bfBJjAuCWtN1qrvEk/zsAgK9KE2/noGAHUmUCG41pVp2gpHyKrpjBmhpQ8sEWtKG 5XhiJnjHzYKa5urp/bv46BymyFL44+VzpRAhK7q1Mq0+qGzj+DCZVz6dRMK6nPtE JusNoAKK1cNxj6TTmpplE5feE43lKmsuK+TL3IXkPC41cY4JYOzUa8sofyXJ5g2L E9iaRhFIGCQ2QK1qoMZGabeb3vpHqW3rwK4VBGGavALy9ksbDe4D7RVcYhCSWtWW kfWbkuHCRw3CADEcjrFraZiSiHksLaalPJ8Akghe7PR0EYY25OlSA4v9Kr82t3a5 wvdG0g2MQJkLWrSdoqxF1FrrzYWQOks4Q11HjMt7WBM6ObA5VTwrhMhN8Mg6yq5l fblpXy5jae+6lIElDU0Fmelqr7P0GtefAsn9sJigeQ== =SZM8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
