[Mageia-dev] Bug squash party update

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Remco Rijnders at 25/03/12 13:29 did gyre and gimble:

This isn't strictly true. e.g. there are some tracker bugs that are
themselves release blockers and those tracker bugs then have bugs that
block them. I've been busy fixing and closing a few bug reports that
related to the systemd tracker for example:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2120

As per above, saying "none closed since Friday" or "no release blockers
have been fixed yet" is actually not quite true. Sadly, of course, this
means that when you expand out the bugs you probably now have a lot more
real release blocking bugs than you previously thought! :D
