Since it's non-blocking, I'd like to only tag things that fix stuff on the F11Alpha tracker. I need to cull that a bit, but basically critical to getting Fedora installed, and updated after that. I'm only really aware of one big one which is the inability for nash to mount by uuid or label (there is a race here somewhere) that causes many machines to not mount / upon reboot.
Ok, so please don't take the following as whining, because I'm not.
The non-blocking freezes are pretty hard for not-day-jobbers to help with from a rel-eng standpoint. Most of us in that category probably don't have the time to be trolling for fixes on the blocker list all day to selectively tag things.
Also, the whole "wait for two +1" thing is kind of moot in this scenario, as it really just slows down the people doing the work here.
So during non-blocking freezes, I'm going to personally try and tackle issues that are somewhat unrelated. Things like buildroot overrides, broken dep checks/reports, upgrade path stuffs, etc. If we ever get a signing server (which I should stfu about and help create), then we can have non-day-jobbers help with pushes as well.
I've been out of the rel-eng loop for an entire release, so if I'm missing something that's changed just smack me and let me know.
