severity 702309 grave kthxbye Hi,
today there was a discussion about this severity change of mine: Debian Bug Tracking System wrote: > > # This bug is only present in experimental, hence not RC > > severity 702309 important > Bug #702309 [strace] strace: Just outputs "strace: Bad OS release string: > '3.8-trunk-686-pae'" > Severity set to 'important' from 'grave' I wrote at <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702309#26>: > P.S.: Bugs which are just present in Debian Experimental are _not_ > release-critical. I hence downgraded the severity again to the highest > non-RC value. It seems as if this rule of "packages in experimental can't have RC severities" dates back to the days where the BTS had no version tracking. But these days are history for quite some years now... With version tracking, RC bugs in experimental are useful for e.g. apt-listbugs to display them when people choose to upgrade a package to the version from experimental. Hence I take back this statement (and claim the opposite ;-) and herewith revert the severity of #702309 (strace: Just outputs "strace: Bad OS release string: '3.8-trunk-686-pae'") back to grave as set previously by Jidanni. Reply-To set to http://bugs.debian.org/712736 (Cc'ed) which was caused by my comment with outdated information and likely serves well for the discussion about this topic. Thanks to Zack for making me aware of this issue!
