I’ve only been involved with TM for a short time, but you could possibly look at some of the bugs that have been fixed in the past. Searching for “releng”, gets quite a few hits on issues that have needed to be fixed for various releases. Maybe others who have been involved in the project for longer can also suggest issues that have been show stoppers in the past?
