Hi,

One minor thing was bothering me on Qt 5.0.0 release process (beta, rc, and 
final).  It seems that we are sometimes changing bug priorities during release 
process to comply with some policy (No P0 or P1 in release). There was also the 
following statement in "Meeting minutes: Release team meeting Dec 11, 2012" 
mail:

> 3. Next steps 
> * Evaluate all incoming P1s, and consider downgrading if not crucial for 
> 5.0.0. 

For me this makes no sense - bugs should and can be reprioritized based on 
valid reasons, and the reason should be always written to bug report. 
Downgrading priority just for sake of policy is stupid, instead those bugs 
should be targeted for next release with appropriate comment. Downgrading bug 
priority due to policy opens a possibility that important bug is not fixed to 
next release either (Downgraded P2 is likely more important compared to bug 
that was originally evaluated as P2).

Br,
