A simple "this is now a security issue, see bug blah" makes it an awful lot easier for arch people to prioritise -- emails that merely show blockers added or removed tend to get ignored because a) they're almost always meaningless changes from the arch team's perspective, and b) the bug email doesn't convey any useful information on its own anyway. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/h4524hDvIxuzXw7smmbEcuH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHgD8+96zL6DUtXhERAugmAJ0SoeKYUYZYjvrP0z45FGVo15NIiACg0T4j TORftW5fTBUFTrp5UVuAe3g= =t3G1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/h4524hDvIxuzXw7smmbEcuH-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
