I still don't understand this obsession with regressions ;)

Any bug that is severe should block the release.  Whether it's a regression or
not doesn't matter.

If it's an unavoidable bug in some heavy used thing that is new, it's just as
blocking as a big bug in known territory.

IMHO a bug in some remote, hardly used function shouldn't block a release -
even if it's a regression that corrupts data and causes qgis to crash in some
edge cases.  We'll probably have plenty of those that we don't know of anyway.

To me it's just a matter of the impact on usablity a bug has.  I'd opt for
common sense instead of setting strict rules.


Jürgen
