Where/How? Adding the term 'release critical' to where the concept is defined in Policy is what the bug report is about. There is no match for the keyword 'release critical' in the git repository, and I can't find it using the search entry here either: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/search.html?q=release+critical My patch adds the term 'release critical' to the first hit above, where I think the concept is defined but without using the term 'release critical'. If you prefer a footnote over my earlier patch, how about the attached version? Of course, as illustrated by the discussion with Andrey, I may be misunderstanding what the actual definition of 'release critical' is, or how the term is supposed to be used. My request is merely that the term is defined somewhere, if it actually has any definition that can be written down. It is fine to dismiss this, but maybe discussion helps. /Simon
