All opinions count!  but I'm still going to disagree with you :-)

We are not claiming that the milestones are perfect, only that they are
the 'best so far' in terms of what the project has produced.  Hence, a
blocker for a milestone would be something that we have regressed (i.e.
functionality that used to work that we subsequently broke), or designs
in progress that have not reached sufficient quality.

In this case I think the JIT bug is not new for this milestone, and it
doesn't impact on the new functionality we have introduced in this
release.  For a new milestone, I believe the code we have in hand is
best so far.

I agree.  If somebody has any insight into this bug, and particularly if
there is an assessment of the impact (or a fix) please let us know.

Tim
