Re: OpenOffice.org 3.4 release and some changes

Hi Martin,

your proposal is definitely a step into the right direction IMHO.

Since in the past we've often had cases where a fix in one RC caused a 
regression in the next one, I'd also like to see the developer's risk 
estimation have an effect on whether an issue gets accepted as a 
showstopper or not. Therefore I'd like to modify your proposed list of 
showstopper criteria as follows:
...
* keyword data_loss set _and_ Prio is P2, P3 or P4 _and_ the developer's 
risk estimation for breaking other functionality is "medium"
* keyword regression has been set _and_ Prio is P2 or P3 _and_ the 
developer's risk estimation for breaking other functionality is "low"
* keyword usability or accessibility _and_ Prio 2 _and_ the developer's 
risk estimation for breaking other functionality is "low"
...

Regards,

Jörg
