I am planning to go through the bug list and massively pare down the number of "Critical" and "High" bugs.

The problem is that Launchpad doesn't have a differentiation between severity and priority. Some bugs are really severe (crashers) but not a high priority (only affects --developer flag). We have been using the flag to indicate severity, but I'm going to transition us to use it to indicate priority. This will make it much easier to determine what bugs need to be fixed for the release. As you rightly point out, the bug list would indicate that we have way too many issues for a release. This doesn't mean we take crashing bugs any less seriously, but it does mean that not all crashing bugs are equally important.

Similarly, I'm planning to remove the 1.12 milestone from bugs that I don't think we are going to fix for this release.
