It will be release critical to be no worse than previous releases ...

Or they're things like performance that would be more nice to fix than need fixing (and really can't be fixed in a reasonable amount of time). As far as i'm aware anyway - there are so many bugs it is easy to miss them. > Anyway, it's your call whether or not it's a priority - I'm just > curious. Well above is only my personal take. I don't know what management have assigned to this (or to anything else for that matter, if they even have). I'm quite out of the loop lately, and counting down the days to when I can move onto something else.
