Why do you think some user that happened to encounter a bug is better
qualified to judge whether the bug he reported is a release blocker
than the QA team of Mandrake? You know, the QA team has plenty of
experience and feed-back (including support requests) about which kind
of bugs John Doe notices and considers unbearable.
The number of votes on the bug itself should be a sufficient indicator
to the QA team of how important we consider it.

Really, I don't know why everyone thinks Mandrake needs advice how to
run their processes. IMHO, there are only handful of people on Cooker
which are involved enough to know if something goes wrong and are able
to cry foul rightfully.
All the others (myself included), don't really have any clue about the
constraints outside of Cooker, often not even about those on Cooker
list itself, and can only make heavily biased assumptions and steal
time from the people doing The Real Work.
