Yes, but everytime we change our opinion on this, possibly the bug state would
need to change, which is why Im not too happy with this.

Why not just query for target 3.5.x in whiteboard?

While this is also queryable, Im not too happy with the MAB concept in the long
run anyway -- Petr suggested we should try to move to getting the bug
priorities right if we get the manpower for it in QA. That should be a lot
better to query in the end.

I personally would stick with finals, RCs are prereleases just like daily builds.

Best,
