Re: [Fwd: Re: roadmap as a bugzilla blockers]

[Gil Forcada <gilforcada guifi net>]

hi!

well, when I propose this, it was for tracking the progress, I abuse the
blocker name :)

I mean, I didn't want to make all the roadmap whislist a blocker for
2.22, just put all in the bugzilla and have a better way to keep track
of the progress, et al

cheers,
