That's a good point about giving devs something to choose from, and that we can't expect Mixxx to run like a business. And in general, the milestone does represent an intention. But now that we are close to release, I need to use the milestone marker to keep things organized so I can make sure that important bugs don't fall through the cracks. When 37 bugs are "critical," none of them really are. I'm still not convinced that changing bug priority will cause a specific problem for other people, and it definitely solves a problem for me and the release, so I'm still planning on doing it.
