Alexandre expressed a preference that the bugs not be auto rolled to 1.4;
he'd rather we deliberately chose bugs to go into 1.4. So when we
un-nominated,
we were intentionally returning bugs to the larger pool. If that proves
to have
been a mistake (which it may yet), please blame me; I made Austin make
each change.
We were trying an experiment - a bug council to review the bugs. I'm
not sure if
it was successful; the bugs have a great richness of information that is
hard to
digest and then discuss thoughtfully in a relatively small (2 hours)
period of time.
Cheers,
Jeremy
