<br>
I'd like to raise the idea of resurrecting the "blocker" tag on<br>
redmine. I understand the reasons behind its original removal, and<br>
fully agree that the new process is working much better.<br>
<br>
BUT...<br>
<br>
We have two extremely serious issues open against QGIS 3.0, which I<br>
think SHOULD block the release. These are:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17985" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://issues.qgis.org/<wbr>issues/17985</a> : Huge memory leak with NULL<br>
attributes in Python<br>
<a href="https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17916" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://issues.qgis.org/<wbr>issues/17916</a> : Crashes and instability with Qt 5.10<br>
<br>
I don't think we can proceed with any 3.0 release while these two<br>
issues are unsolved.<br>
<br>
That's why I'd like to see the blocker tag brought back, but with it<br>
actually BLOCKING the release (vs the previous definition, which<br>
ultimately just meant "hey please fix this because it impacts me a<br>
lot!"). And I'd like to see it highly curated to avoid users tagging<br>
their own pet bugs with it.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
