I've gone over the tickets and removed Fix Version from many of them that do not seem to be critical defects. If I removed Fix Version from a ticket you care about, please feel free to add it back. I am not trying to decide what is in/out of the release, just trying to triage the Jira data to match expected practices.
It should probably be documented somewhere outside of the release guide. As far as I can tell, the fact that we triage them down to zero is the only place we mention that it is used to indicate release blockers and not used for feature targets.
