xorg bug#596557 discussed during the blocker meeting [1] being a good
example.
I'll see if there's a way to rephrase my proposal to be more accurate.
The principles already mention this:
"and for which the fix is reasonably small and testable (this
consideration becomes progressively more important as a release nears,
so bugs may be downgraded from nice-to-have status late in the release
process if it transpires that the fix is complex and hard to test)"
it's always been a trade-off between how much benefit we get from taking
the fix and how complex and potentially dangerous the fix is; I tried to
encapsulate that in the principles.
