Comments? I'm a little disappointed that after I spent time converting them into the wiki form, you're now proposing abandoning them again. This seems like a retrograde step. What I'd be more interested in doing is combining the must- and should- fix lists. As a first pass, just put all the must-fix items on the should-fix list at pri 4. One of the things I did was delete the things that appeared on both lists. This would obviously be easier if they were in one list ;-) -- "It's not Hollywood.
