I think the Drupal 6 criticals queue would get a lot more attention if we linked to it directly from the contributors block like we do for D7 - see this very old and neglected feature request in the webmasters queue: http://drupal.org/node/221510 Nat On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 12:48 PM, Gábor Hojtsy <gabor@hojtsy.hu> wrote:

Hi,

The current Drupal 6 critical issue queue is 2 pages long. It was three earlier today, and I took around 1.5 - 2 hours today to clean up some of the very old cruft. Most issues were duplicates of things dealt with elsewhere, even some issues were solved already in current Drupal versions. Some really interesting items popped up however, which were not dealt with (eg. installer cannot be used to set up multisites, taxonomy term paths with views, taxonomy term deletion problems, etc). There were also developer issues, which were not critical to Drupal, but only problems with people on using our APIs.

All-in-all it would be good if some other dedicated fellows could help clear out the critical issue queue, so that it only has real critical issues remaining:

As it is, it does not shed a good light on Drupal 6 that it seems to have so many critical issues open, while many of these are either developer support requests, already solved, or interaction problems with contrib modules.

Thanks for your help, Gábor Hojtsy (Drupal 6 maintainer)
