Hi Nicolai,

I'm checking all current issues marked for Pharo 6 and testing if they are
new or the problem already existed in Pharo 5. According to it I'm marking
it and for most cases (but not all) I'm decreasing the priority to "Fix if
Time".
I understand you but look at the priorities as priorities for the releasing
process. Of course a lot such issues should be fixed and if you think they
must be fixed for the upcoming release, increase the priority. Currently
the assignment of priorities is on issue reporters and they use different
personal scales. This way we can unify that a little bit.

After finishing of the marking I wanted to ask people to think again about
priorities of the reported issues. But If we already made a release with
some issue, it probably means it is not extremely important.

This step needs to be done anyway or we will never finish the release. To
do it now gives us more time to focus on really important things. We want
every new release to be better that release before so it makes sense to
firstly look at new problems we created.

Cheers,
-- Pavel
