Re: Labeling in Jira, I'm fine with having a be "Next + 1" from a release management perspective, but I'd still consider at least taking action on followup to be the relevant party's responsibility (implementer or whatever the case may be). We probably should have a more clear way to tag things like this, but I don't believe we do right now. If there's not a harder dependency than my memory, chances are high it gets overlooked/missed/whatever.
