   - https://review.opendev.org/#/c/657535
   - Cindy noted some other patches received from Hao Wang 
   - defer non-gating low priority work - use the power of -2
   - Don noted that the -2 should be accompanied by a comment stating why it's being deferred, the -2 shouldn't become a default action 
- defect trend / gating launchpads 
   - updated forecast as of end of last week: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DZZgqrCIL6wxv51_yFBk6Lfmtf1AqPD6z7e5hEs3prU/edit#gid=300550657

   - rationale for marking something as *not* gating 2.0
