What requires a HOLD vote on the Parts Tracker

[Chris Dee]

I also thought that a major part of the problem seems to be that when the part is released, it disappears from the parts tracker and needs to be re-submitted to it to be edited again, losing comment history in the process. So our only options are to release or keep it on the PT. I think that these shouldn't be mutually exclusive. A part with non-showstopper issues could be both released and kept on the PT for rework. A part with major issues can be released with a Needs Work modifier. Why does releasing a part remove it from the PT entirely anyway instead of just archiving it?

This would be a substantial change to the (already complex) way the update build process works, but that is not to say it is impossible. The review history is archived - there just isn't a web interface to display it.
