Not codified, and certainly not clear: > Showstoppers > Showstoppers are issues that require a fix be in place > before the next public release.

'Consensus' means vetos apply, as opposed to 'majority.' I also disgree that anyone can (or should be able to) shuffle a showstopper around. That's bogus. Let's just demote all the current showstoppers and we have a golden release. Not. This is part of why I brought this up. I disagree with the interpretation you're placing on the guidelines. And even if it's generally accepted as the correct interpretation, then I disgree with the guidelines on this issue and want it to be discussed. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!"
