  As mentioned previously, we're no longer using Severity: 'blocker' to
mark bugs. Please set those bugs to 'critical' severity.


May I suggest that you migrate all "blockers" to "critical" and remove the
"blocker" option from the list?

  
  We've migrated all open blockers to critical (migrating the
resolved/closed bugs was deemed more disruptive than helpful).
Renaming 'blocker' was proposed and then postponed, as the 'blocker'
label is threaded extensively through the Bugzilla codebase, and
patches to remove it would complicate upgrades. It's possible that we
could remove the option *solely* in the drop-down display when
editing, if that would be considered helpful for new bug reporters.

See docs on Severity field here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Severity#Severity_Levels


  
It is useless, causes confusion/illusion and is a waste of time both to
reporters and triagers.

  
  Ideally, all triagers should be in the 'contributors' Bugzilla group
and should hopefully be aware of current best practices regarding
Severity and Priority. I just made additional updates to the
Prioritization flowchart mentioned in our Bug Triage docs to clarity
the deprecation of 'blocker', reflect the relative position of the
Importance fields (Priority, Severity) in the Bugzilla bug-editing
interface, and change the term 'Wishlist' to 'Enhancement' (to reflect
the actual terms used):
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage#Step_7._Prioritize_Bug

Best,

Ok, clear for me.
Please forgive the noise.

Regards.
Miguel Ángel.

I think that removing it from the drop-down list is helpful. There is no
point in having available options that are deprecated. In this case the
English word "blocker" has a specific meaning and is used in other open
source projects to effectively block a release. Since that doesn't apply in
LibreOffice it should be removed.

Regards,
Pedro

Okay, blocker is removed from visibility. I don't expect the change
will have any negative side effects, but please indicate if you see
any weirdness with creating new or updating old bug reports.
