You are maybe right, but we should not confuse the mean with the goal.
It could be indeed that at a moment the checklist is unrealistic.
Then, before releasing, we should ask for each issue the person who sets the priority if s/he did for the reason documented in the wiki.
If this person maintains but some disagree, then it's the community to decide, by a vote if necessary.
Ultimately if no decision is taken, it's to the release manager to decide issue by issue when releasing.
The filter I created for that shows we currently have only 3 blocking issues.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12344205I don't think these issues were defined as blocker for release then.
I asked in them:
"After deciding that a blocker is an issue which blocks a release, should we still consider it's the case here?"
Though these details seem obvious to me, should I put them in the Release Management Guide page?
