I think you mean open, but fix-committed here, right? Because open bugs is not traditionally a good reason to release. > We close bugs when we know we have delivered a fix to the affected > users.

I suppose it is legitimate that if a bug was never actually released, then we shouldn't have to wait for a release in order to mark it closed. I think the "Fix released" terminology confuses the issue. Perhaps we should tag un-released bugs specially when they're reported, so that we know to mark them fix-released instead of fix-committed when they are fixed. > There are several bugs targeted to 1.17.0 that were introduced in > trunk and were fixed a few days later.

Once the release is no longer blocked, it may not be critical. > Since we review all the open bugs to write release notes, we are > constantly re-reading bugs that don't affect anyone who will get > the release. Seems like the pragmatic thing to do.
