By that logic a regression to patience would not be as serious as one to a
mail folder either, so there's no need to advocate a deeper freeze for
applications without important user data.

(Besides, games don't use mail folders and KMail doesn't do patience
sessions, so that *would* make applications such as KMail more important by
definition.)

From what I understood from the original mail, the problem is that freeze
policies aren't respected. Changing policies won't solve the problem of
people ignoring policies, especially not when adding restrictions based on
subjective arguments.

If developers cannot fix minor bugs anymore, we'd actually punish those who
don't have any outstanding major bugs, whether that definition inherits from
"importance of user data" or not.
