### Severity labels (~S1, ~S2, etc.)
### Bug Priority labels (~P1, ~P2, ~P3 & etc.)
Bug Priority labels help us define the time a ~bug fix should be completed.
This label documents the planned timeline & urgency which is used to measure against our actual SLA on delivering ~bug fixes.
| Label | Estimate time to fix | Guidance |
|-------|--------------------------------------------------|----------|
| ~P1 | Immediate hotfix to production | This would normally correspond to a S1 severity below |
| ~P2 | The current milestone (regular & patch releases) | The issue is (almost) guaranteed to occur in the near future |
| ~P3 | The next milestone (regular & patch releases) | The issue is likely to occur in the near future |
| ~P4 | The next 2 to 4 milestones (regular & patch releases) | The issue _may_ occur but it's not likely |
| ~P5 | Anything we know will not be done within the next quarter | The issue is prominent but does not impact user workflow and a workaround if any is well documented |
### Bug Severity labels (~S1, ~S2, ~S3 & etc.)
Severity labels help us clearly communicate the impact of a ~bug on users.
| Label | Meaning | Example |
|-------|------------------------------------------|---------|
| ~S1 | Feature broken, no workaround | Unable to create an issue |
| ~S2 | Feature broken, workaround unacceptable | Can push commits, but only via the command line |
| ~S3 | Feature broken, workaround acceptable | Can create merge requests only from the Merge Requests page, not through the Issue |
| ~S4 | Cosmetic issue | Label colors are incorrect / not being displayed |
| Label | Meaning | Example |
|-------|-------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| ~S1 | Outage, broken feature with no workaround | Unable to create an issue. Data corruption/loss. Security breach. |
| ~S2 | Broken Feature, workaround too complex & unacceptable | Can push commits, but only via the command line. |
| ~S3 | Broken Feature, workaround acceptable | Can create merge requests only from the Merge Requests page, not through the Issue. |
| ~S4 | Functionality inconvenience or cosmetic issue | Label colors are incorrect / not being displayed. |
