"Quentin Jackson"
Well I found the priority documentation at http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/Definitions#Bug_Severities, it seems quite good, so further to below, I feel we should not be releasing a distro with any outstanding job having a criticality over Normal. Obviously there would be exceptions, but it seems that we do indeed release a distro with 'Major' severity outstanding calls correct? So by proxy that would be saying that we're OK releasing a distro that has "Major loss of function"?
We include priorities as well - not have any P1 bugs. In the past we had as policy no blocker. No bugs with severity above normal is not feasible - we would never ever release ;-) or release with an outdated distribution. There's indeed quite a difficult balance between time and quality - and we do this also with limiting the changes we allow to make to the distribution at some time, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
