During last release cycle, we talked that there should be a way to flag some issues as showstoppers for next release, so that next release is either delayed until the issue is fixed, or the issue is explicitly downgraded by the release team after consideration. However, I am not sure we've reached definitive agreement on how such issues should be marked. One proposal is to use the 'showstopper' status. Does that sound OK to our release managers? If so, shall this convention be documented somewhere, and should release procedures be adjusted to including checking this list prior to rolling betas and final release? I can do the necessary edits if everybod agrees, and tell me what to edit. Thanks, Volodya
