Hi Gene,

I think you're on the right track here, however the Release Criteria is 
for a release that has not gone Final/GA.  The repos you refer to are 
for releases that are final and still being maintained.

Part of the release criteria is that all bugs in "modified" are 
verified.  Bugs in "modified" are thought to have been fixed and are 
closed once verified.
