There are a couple of useful reports on svn.boost.org:

Active Showstoppers:	https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/43
Active Regressions:		https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/30

To shortcut part of the discussion, here are some definitions (taken from https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TicketWorkflow):

        • Showstopper - this problem is so bad, that we should hold up a release if it's not fixed. Note that the release managers and/or the library maintainers may have different opinions.

        • Regression - something used to work (in a previous release), but no longer does.

IMHO, these bugs should be at least looked at before each release.
