Then the policies in sunrise need to be more strict: If it is mentioned in the bug, that the version in sunrise does not build anymore, it should be dropped from sunrise if there is no fix in some timeframe [1]. Of course this puts more workload on the sunrise-team as they have to monitor the bugs and respond accordingly. - René [1] Dunno, perhaps two weeks if noone responds "will fix it", four weeks else.
