@adam yes, and the order of execution of bugs is normally directly
determined by the severity of the bug.

For later, we have to define other processes anyway for bugs appearing
in production. We're building a b2c product, so we have to have
something in place to deal with high-severity bugs that require
immediate action. But that's possibly even a different team then, like
in a SLA scenario.
