While such lists do have downsides ("you shipped even though problem X on your
showstopper list wasn't fixed!") they also have some nice advantages -- one is
focusing user community testing time and developer community fixing time. At
least in the case of 7.2, though, I'm not aware of any major outstanding
problems, so focuses for testing are presumably just in the areas of major
change from 7.1.
