<p>Hi All.
This is partly FYI, and partly something you may want to do.</p>
<p>FYI - <u>Next week </u>the bugzilla folks will fold sev=major
bugs into the critical category, and sev=trivial bugs into minor,
and then the major and trivial categories will be forever removed
from BMO. (You may have noticed severity major and trivial are not
available when creating a new bug.) [1]<br>
</p>
<p>What you may want to do - Some currently "major" bugs don't meet
the new definition critical [2]. So in the next few days you may
want to proactively review and change bugs you care about or
manage, to avoid having them incorrectly shoved into critical (it
may be impossible to find and triage the old major bugs as a
group after BMO moves them). To aid you in this effort, see the
sev=major column of this <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>[1] Part of larger plans the BMO team has to both simplify BMO
and add significant improvements, much of which has been done in
the past several months, with more to come.
