Beyond the release criteria, there's the main goal of the release - what is the major problem oVirt users have that we can fix for the next release, for example? I find it useful to have one big user-visible goal to federate people around the release and give us a nice headline feature. Of course it's possible to have some smaller features we would like to add, and bugs we would like to fix. But the big goal provides both a neat way of prioritising work and a finish line to measure against. Cheers, Dave.
