If this is not a workflow you are *involved* with (as, for example, 100 papercuts) you *cannot* change anything in the workflow bug without clearing it out with the people that actually work them. It does not matter if my personal perception is "this is a critical (workflow) bug for *me*": it is NOT a workflow under your responsibility. > > El 09/04/14 00:52, Thomas Ward escribió: > > > In the "How to Triage" guide [1], even, there's a section labeled > > "Special Types of Bugs" [2], which says that unless you know what you're > > doing, you shouldn't touch those bugs.

It is not my workflow." The importance will be set by the people working this workflow, if they so want to.
