By that, I mean: - either it's easily fixable, and thus there is no reason the maintainer can't fix it in time, and if he doesn't, one can be doubtful about the quality of the rest of the package, for which no RC bug report has been reported _yet_. - or it's difficult to fix, and thus considering the little consequence, the release team will probably accept a stretch-ignore.
