I second this release goal (as DD, not yet as RA; i leave that up to Luk
and Andi to decide), and would propose "goal-bootseq" for user-tagging.
Pere, do you know how many packages are currently buggy? How can we
prevent new packages from becoming buggy? Could you give the release
team some numbers so we can decide on making this an release goal or
not.
