Delaying a fix



Hello mentors,

I have a bug (#406121), which I don't want to fix before the release (it's
minor).  Is there a way to tag it as such?  Or should I just add a message to
the report (I just did) and do nothing else?

I'm just thinking that I could mark it as blocked by some Etch-release
pseudo-bug (which would have to be created).  Is that a sensible idea?

The reason I want to mark this in a computer-readable way (as opposed to a
textual message to the report), is that that would allow programs to present
lists of "fixable" bugs in a better way.  Whenever I see lists of bugs
(usually RC), they are way too long, and contain lots of things I can't help
with anyway (and in some cases, nobody can).  Some facilities to get shorter
lists with only relevant bugs would be nice.  Of course I could also wait with
tagging these things until the programs for producing the shorter lists
actually exist. :-)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice on this,
Bas Wijnen
