Mmm, I don't really think so. Presumably it would be maintainers who
got to set those fields, right? But they are doing so in relation to
No, why would you presume that?
*the package*. What's 'critical' for a given package is
not necessarily
'critical' for the distribution. If there's a bug in 'some-obscure-
package-two-people-use' that prevents it running, that bug should have
maximum 'severity' (and probably 'priority'), but that still doesn't
mean Matt or Jan would give a damn about it from a 'is the release on
fire?' perspective.
Right. Which speaks to Matt's "very restricted" list of people.
Which would essentially be the same group that is going to do the
categorizing anyway. Which means that since the fields are useless
today (as in, completely) restricting them to useful to avoid another
process or tool could be a possibility.
