I don't know if it's aggressive or not, but the 29th is just under
two weeks from now.

For the record, I agree with this, and I also think we should have a
standard way to say which bugs are critical enough that they should
be fixed before 2.0.  I would propose that we create a standard
query (which we can link to from the wiki) that lists the set of open
bugs remaining..

I would propose that we say that 'release=SVN' and either 'priority>3'
or 'severity>[something]' (i'm not sure exactly how to categorize this..
But having a link from the wiki to bugzilla to display the set of open
bugs would be IMHO a Good Thing (TM).
