I like the risk assessment field idea.
Me too, perhaps give it a different name.
What would you call it? There are at least three things to consider I can think
of.
1) What are the risks associated with a change?
2) The probability of the change causing a problem.
3) The impact such a problem would cause.
There might be others.
Even things that have a fairly high probability of causing a problem are
probably not worth worrying about too much if the impact would be minimal.
Conversely, even something which has a low probability of causing a problem, but
would have major consequences, needs to be taken seriously.
However, unless there was a *major* change in Sage release practices, it would
be a bit pointless doing any sort of risk analysis. I don't detect much of an
appetite for a major change in Sage release practices. In fact, I detect quite
the converse.
