The issue really is that we need a way for flagging things that are
absolutely unpuntable and need to be tracked in detail, and need to re-do
that at every release. We also IMHO need a way people can flag things they
really think are unpuntable. And most of this is entirely orthogonal to
the issue of bug priorities and urgencies.
