The problem with making it simply not apply to jessie is that there
would be a continued opportunity to create `facts on the ground' which
make it difficult to disentangle things in jessie + 1.

But I am not suggesting that the release team ought to apply different
criteria for `jessie-ignore' for RC bugs, for example.
