Hello!
I agree that it is alarming that the amount of blocking issues isn't
dropping.
On the other hand we have a limited amount of resources for testing and
fixing problems.
By urging you all to do your utmost to help in the testing and fixing I hope
soliciting more resources to complete the release. If we don't manage this,
all that we can do is the best possible compromise between the quality of
the release, and for how long we are ready to defer it.
I hope that you all take a closer look at as many P2 (and P1) issues as you
can. Both for understanding the seriousness of the problem, discussing the
priority, and attempting to find a solution or perhaps a simpler solution
that could result in making the problem less of a priority.
