      • P1: Bug most users will hit. Mark with a ReleaseBlock label.
        • Mark ReleaseBlock-Dev if the issue impacts a core scenario (like scrolling).
        • Mark ReleaseBlock-Beta if the issue impacts a secondary scenario.
        • Mark ReleaseBlock-Stable if Chrome should never ship with this issue.
      • P2 - Bug that many users may hit and/or has a reasonable workaround.
      • P3 - Bug that few users will hit.
    2. Schedule a milestone.
