No, what I said was that people shouldn't make a *fuss* about the lack of NEW processing, because there are 108 open RC bugs right now loudly declaring that there are more useful things they could be doing for the project with their time before criticising how the ftpmasters are spending theirs. The release team has not asked the ftpmasters to stall NEW processing; I've merely made an observation about the negative impact NEW processing (or any code churn of a significant nature, really) has on the RC bug count in testing. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
