Hi Kathey,

If an issue would cause you to vote -1 on the 10.2 release, please mark the issue as Critical or Blocker.

I am looking now at the known open regressions and am still struggling with how to set the priority. Here is the current list of 4.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=10594&resolution=-1&customfield_12310090=Regression&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC

My general feeling on regressions  and the 10.2 release is that:

All known product regressions should be fixed for the release unless we have a *very* strong case for introducing a regression into the product. If the community agrees we should introduce the regression, there should be a release note with the workaround documented.

I have a hard time mapping this to the  Jira priorities which say:
Blocker
   Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run
Critical
   Crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak.

How should I mark priority on these issues?
A couple of examples:

DERBY-765 : Valid query fails with ERROR X0A00: The select list mentions column 'A' twice... This is a regression that I think we sadly have to let in but don't think we should release 10.2 until this has a comprehensive release note and workaround documented. DERBY-1554: IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL() returned value is modified incorrectly by a multi-row INSERT statement. This is a regression from the fix for DERBY-353. This one I think should definitely be fixed for 10.2
