For "could, or should, have been discovered earlier", there's also "raised as a blocker earlier". There were a couple this time around that actually had bugs filed but we didn't prioritize them until the last minute. Another consideration that might be relevant: is this a *new* issue or something that also affects the current release (either as released or with updates)? If something is a clear-cut blocker criterion violation but isn't a regression *and* we're running late, using further release delay as a forcing function feels like cutting off our nose to spite our face. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
