Re: [GeneX-dev] Bug tracking on sourceforge

Jason:

I really appreciate you taking care of this, but I don't understand your bug 
priority assignments.

The way I think about GeneX releases is that we will have a CURRENT production 
release, which should be stable unless emergency patches are required. Patches 
are the only acceptable repair mechanism to a CURRENT release. Therefore, 
patches should have a priority named after them. Otherwise another production 
release must be built, but then that's the NEXT release.

At the same time that we have have a CURRENT release in deployment, we are 
developing the NEXT release. It will have its own priorities.

Then there are simply FUTURE release items.

Therefore, it seems like we need bug priorities that reflect these divisions.

Your priorities seem to all be about the CURRENT and FUTURE releases. Or is it 
about the NEXT and FUTURE releases? Maybe there is some kind of symantic problem 
with my understanding of the meanings of CURRENT and NEXT?
