Nope, as said on irc, this will help people focus on the issue and find t=
he
right solution, instead of the bug being hidden in the mass.

Sorry, but this is stupid behavior. I don't think an RC bug is meant as a=
 way
to punish a maintainer, but to mark a bug that needs to be fixed before t=
he
release. I don't think we can release with this bug open, and i bet you t=
hat
all the powermac users will agree with me on that.

And this is a known problem since over 6 month, so you had ample time to =
get
it fixed.
