I agree on the general principle, but given that we just started
maintaining a stable branch we'll surely have more "blockers" than
resources to fix them. So in addition to "downgrade" their seriousness
I'd add the possibility to retarget them to 1.7.5.

Better a 1.7.4 with a bunch of bugfixes since 1.7.3 than no 1.7.4 at all.
I'm sure 1.7.4 won't be the last in the 1.7 branch, nor willing for it to
be (I like a stable qgis even if I can build from sources ... :)
