Re: [boost] Report # 29 (aka 1.45 blockers) is too narrow

I think that boost report # 29 (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/29) is too narrow a query. If you remove the "Milestone" filter you get nearly fifty tickets marked Showstopper, going back 22 months.

A ticket's originator may not know what milestone to fill in, and his/her ticket shouldn't be lost because of that.

Or the ticket's originator may have used "showstopper" just because he overestimated the importance of the bug. Therefore, "showstopper" severity does not necessary mean anything.

I think they all need review.

And -- who exactly do you suggest review them -- given that per above, you actually have to review every single open bug, not just bugs with specific severity. - Volodya
