Hi @satyenme, @gnu-andrew 
Well, there is no rush. But it is common practice to do younger releases first, thus I will only approve 21 after 24 got approved.  And if you label for approval knowing there is a blocker, it spams the approval filter which us approvers check regularly. Thus I ususally point to the reason for the block the first time I check a change, and remove the label if I encounter a blocked backport in the filter a second time.
