I'm all for this. By the time we reach Alpha, we'll have several hundred bugs in MODIFIED - if all of these are dumped to ON_QA simultaneously it will be impossible to manage/prioritize. +1. > > Yours, Lior. > _______________________________________________ > Infra mailing list > in...@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/infra > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
