Agreed as well, with the warning that if the changes are in mass and exceed the capacity of the rest of interested parties to react, review or revert those changes, it may not be such a good idea. Normally when developers get angry at some triaging activity it's because of automated changes, not because of spontaneous triaging. >> It seems fair to say there is some level of (completely >> understandable) analysis paralysis for some level of bugs.

Not really: > > http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/timeline I'm offline right now so I cannot check (though I have seen lots of activity from you and Silbe in the past weeks, kudos!), but I would like to encourage people interested in triaging that read and improve http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/BugSquad/Triage_Guide so we follow a consistent set of guidelines and specially so bugs get out from the triaging queue once someone has been able to look at it.
