Maybe I don't understand something, but every metabug I saw says it *depends on* other bugs, *not* blocks them.
Metabugs are not welcome in general.
It doesn't make sense. Blocked issue can't be closed before the blocker. Why don't you agree with that? In this tracker I see exactly opposite situation: blocked bugs are closed before the blocker! Insane!
Sure it can. Dependency just means that there's a chain of issues and if it's possible to workaround first issue you can test depending one and fix it first.
