My experience as a release manager (admittedly from a long time ago) was that release-critical issues will slip past even the most active library maintainers, and letting them know about it (and occasionally nagging) goes a long way towards "all green" release.
The release process is quite different now. It seems to me that the focus is to get a regular release with the more modest goal of being an incremental improvement, rather than an 'all green' release.
Like Robert, I don't see a conflict here. The "all green" part is exactly about incremental improvement: it says "this release is not worse than the previous one, except for these known issues". It was simply a concise, objective, easy-to-track and easy-to-explain criterion to keep us on track towards that goal. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
