Mark,

Re. your comment #5, I think everyone respects your request that only the RM
sets priorities.  But right now the RM fails to do so.

I have also set priorities on a number of bugs that obviously have the wrong
priority setting.  Some bugs are not relevant at all, e.g. not a primary or
secondary platform, or for a language that is not release critical.  Other bugs
are obvious must-fix bugs, or at least must-analyze, before 4.1 can go out the
door.  I've adjusted priorities on roughly one dozen bugs in the last week
alone when it was obvious that the bug has the wrong priority.

If you think that is wrong, you should just go over the list of bugs more often
and set the priorities yourself.  I am sure you're a very busy man, but if you
want everyone to stop touching bug priorities, then you have the responsibility
to set them for us, and you will just have to find the time to do so or relax
the rules again.

In this case, you don't comment at all on a regression that you caused, until
Richard escalates the issue and sets the priority higher himself. Richard
reported the problem 12 days ago today.  Do you think it is strange that people
get annoyed with you if you cause regressions and then essentially disappear
for 12 days?  Had it been someone else instead of you who caused this bug,
people would have reverted the patch causing this bug long ago.
