Shouldn't the fact that beagle doesn't work with both firefox and thunderbird be a release blocker?

[Jonathan Kamens]

I think search is, nowadays, critical functionality, not only because it 
is widely used, but because it is built into those other two big 
operating systems Linux is competing with.

I think putting out a release in which search is non-functional for the 
two most important types of data (email and Web pages), when search 
/was/ functional for those two types of data in the previous release, 
would be extremely unwise and a big black eye for Fedora.

While I understand the need to have relatively sane criteria for what 
constitutes a release blocker, it is also, as the ReleaseCriteria page 
points out, essentially a subjective judgment, and in this case I think 
that looking at the forest, rather than the trees, would lead to the 
conclusion that F11 shouldn't ship with these two bugs unfixed.

Especially since they will probably be quite easy to fix once a 
developer actually pays attention to them.
