Amen, though I believe many people, including poor Xard here , would like to see a new build perhaps
Exactly.
It doesn't really matter in what order bugs are dealt with as long as they are. It doesn't matter if they would deal with all the trivials before minors, it would not prolong this project.
However, it's all about psychological effect.
Besides, in original build plan it goes like this:
Build Plan
0.7b1 - All "essential" content implemented. All Block, Crash and Major severity issues resolved.
0.8b1 - All Minor severity issues resolved.
0.9b1 - All Tweak severity issues resolved. Translators brought aboard.
1.0b1 - All Trivial severity issues resolved. Multiple languages all building successfully.
1.0c1 - All Text severity issues resolved.
As you can see, if you only dealt with THREE bugs this project would jump to next stage and one milestone would be passed.
