Downgrading RC Bugs
# Bcc'ed to -devel; please be careful where you reply to, as always
#
# Since we're hopefully not far off starting TC3, it seems opportune
# to downgrade all the bugs that both (a) won't hold up the release, (b)
# haven't already been fixed and (c) won't result in the package they apply
# to being removed from potato. If an upload appears in incoming before
# TC3 begins that fixes any of these bugs, it may still get accepted,
# but don't bet your share portfolio on it.
#
# If the release does need to be held up for any of the following bugs,
# please provide a full explanation as to what's going on, and, ideally, a
# fix.
