We only work on High bugs. I believe all high bugs should be targeted to
a milestone to show we are planning to work on it in the near future. If
a high bug is not ready to code, we are getting it ready to code, so
targeting to an feature/series milestone is often the right thing to do.
(If I could untarget from a series, I would suggest targeting to a
series).

Most high bugs are not high because we do not intend to work on them
even in the next year. I believe all the bugs were high, but we
neglected to update them as our priorities changed.

the Lp team fixes ~100 high bugs each month, of which about 15 are over
a year old. There are about 700 high bugs, 300 of which are older than a
year. It will take us 20 releases to close these bugs if we do not
reprioritise...but we have...there are 93 oopes and timeouts not set as
High.
