The sarge-ignore tag is for things which the release team has agreed are conceptually release-critical but which we're deferring beyond sarge: it's an easy way to indicate that the tag should no longer be in effect post-sarge. The important severity is for things which the release team hasn't agreed should be release-critical at all. See my other recent mail to this subthread. The three release-critical severities are in the domain of the release team to define. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
