I'm still a little unclear. The first part seems to imply that a minimal
triage process for this program would be to just flag all new bugs as
either "this is a critical issue that must be fixed for the next release"
or "not". But for many bugs, a "clear decision-state" does involve
interplay with how things get prioritized.

It also seems to be saying there should be a backlog of unprioritized work,
which I think experience with the firefox-backlog flag has shown to work
extremely poorly. (* - outside of a teams that are using it as a side
effect of closely tracked and prioritized work.)
