I made a judgement of how significant I felt the bugs were (which includes
questions of how likely they are to affect users). If you think continued
presence of these bugs in Stage 3 should delay moving to regression-only
mode for 4.4 (which is what the choice of P2 or P4 is about), feel free to
set them back to P3 for another RM to look at them.
