FYI, from my reading, I concur that vetos apply in this situation, but they apply to the issue being a showstopper, not to the showstopper stopping a release. I read that last sentence as: "An issue becomes a showstopper when it is listed as such in STATUS, and remains one until someone vetoes it, at which time it is no longer a showstopper. Thus, a consensus is required for an issue to be a showstopper, and anyone can move something out of the showstopper category at any time." -- Greg Marr [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We thought you were dead."
