David, I'm sure you are aware that list will never be empty.
Never? Awfully defeatist. There was a point where it was down to just
the one from 2011. And we've had releases where the no new known
regressions policy has been true. That rule should remain in effect.
Defeatist? Hmmmm... You can call me what you want. I'm neither offended nor
does my point of view
change because of it.
Please don't take what I said as intent to offend. It's not.
You can't ask? Bzzzt. You can and most certainly should ask. Change
of emphasis during a release process is appropriate and a little
reminder can help quite a bit. Are there kibitzers that play arm chair
quarterback? Of course, but that shouldn't stop us from doing what we
believe to be the right thing. The woe is me attitude is ridiculous and
certainly not helpful.
I'd just like to draw your attention to your response to item (d) at:

My line in that thread:
> ideally, but volunteers spend time where they wish.
That line and the above quote are not contradictory. People are going to do as they wish, but some
of our all volunteer staff has actually _asked_ to be given direction. And some will take it as a
nudge in the right direction regardless.
