Hi Flink Devs, while checking our JIRA for the 1.3 release, I found that some issues of type "New Feature" have the priority "Blocker". With the time-based release model, I don't think its possible to mark a new feature as a blocker.
Only a bug that leads to wrong results, system failure or completely undefined behavior (without any available workaround) is a blocker. New features, missing documentation or inconveniences are never blockers. I understand that people want to express that their feature is so important that it is basically blocking us from creating a release, but with the time-based release model, this doesn't really apply. If nobody disagrees, I'll un"block" new features to "Major" new features.
